Use brain when doing consecutive big pulls

[Miziliti]

This is getting to the point where I want to throw tantrum at the tank in 5.0 dungeons.

You can sprint all the way for all I care, but if it takes you to burn all of your defensive cool downs to stay alive after ONE SINGLE big pull in dungeon, the chances are you healer also burned all his/her healing cool downs as well.

What comes after? You sprint to do another big pull without tools to stay alive and your healer ends up spamming single heal as hard as one can possibly do because everything else is on cd. Your two DPSs are doing the best they can to kill everything, and you are but a wet tissue paper. Everyone then dies and it's a wipe.

If you are a tank with a brain, you can judge you party members on how they perform. Are the two DPSs good? Is the healer capable? Is my cool downs available to do the next big pull?

Staying alive during big pull is a team effort. Not just if the healer can keep you alive or not.

Please stop killing your healer and DPSs. Please.

2 things i do
1- ask the healer if he can handle the heat
2- continuous pulling moving backward and adding monsters steadily while the dps has fun chipping mobs away.

I don't really have problems keeping people alive on my WHM and SCH CD's or not, but some people are really testing their luck lol.

I am good enough to keep people alive just fine, but while leveling my PLD I've noticed how mixed it is with healers too.
Like I had a healer earlier that couldn't keep me alive when I pulled two packs in The Stone Vigil because he/she was afk:ing like 4-5 seconds or even more inbetween every heal and was basically just casting Cure 1 and apparently it was my fault and people claimed that '' those aren't normal pulls ''.
I also had a SCH casting Succor non-stop until OOM in every pull.

Overall tho I dunno, I never had problems keeping tanks alive and still don't.
If anything I have more problems with tanks like PLD's trying to '' help '' by spamming Clemency lol.

Pull 1: Tank CD's
Pull 2: Tank Invuln
Pull 3: Tank CD's again
Rinse and repeat.

Hmm, unless your dps can kill 3+ packs of mobs in 6-10 seconds (immunity duration) that second pull may not go so well for the healer even still.

Ah but your invuln gives time for your orher cooldowns to combeack up. For example, rampart should be back up or camouflage.

*sticks sword into ground* GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE

[Gariored]

you make it sound like these are "real" tanks you're running with...


I'm lucky if I get a tank that actually uses their CD (but yet they still have the balls to try and pull big)
