What's up with the wreckless big pulls lately?

[Dioltas]

People want to do everything super fast and then complain that there's no endgame content. They don't understand just enjoying the game you're playing, instead of just getting to the end. And unfortunately it's a common occurrence. Even when there's no extra prize for finishing a duty faster, they still try to do it even if no one else wants to.

People have a different opinion of what endgame content is. For me it's savage. So having to grind Ex DFs so many times just to gear up for it is extremely tedious. Same goes for a lot of players. Not to mention dungeons are extremely bland as far as mechanics go. I almost fall asleep regularly they are such a snoozefest (roulette after a long days work...recipe for zzzzzzz).

Wait what??????

Sprint outside of combat is 20s duration on 60s cooldown. When you’re in combat, Sprint is 10s on a 60s cooldown.

Never even noticed. Thanks learn something new every day

It seems over the past few weeks every dungeon I am doing either 50/60/70 or leveling roulette the tanks have this general "I want to big pull everything and sprint through this content as fast as I can" mentality, without waiting for the healer to even be in line of sight?

Unless you're undergeared there's not anything threatening in leveling dungeons except Aurum Vale first room and the Shadowbringer dungeons. And that only means anything beyond 3 packs could potentially kill you. In 50/60/70 I can't think of anything actually threatening. It was actually in 50 dungeons that wall to wall pulls became the norm and stop gates started to become added to intentionally slow people down.

Saying that, you aren't required to do those kinds of pulls if you don't want to. At the same time, people might be hopelessly bored doing single pulls or just prefer getting the most out of their DPS aoe kit or caster limit break. Neither is the right or wrong way to play.

That being said: You'll always be able to keep up with the tank if you want to. They don't have any means to outrun you.

It's a recent change.

Not really. Been like that since 4.0 release when they removed the TP cost from it.

Still wish the cooldown was shorter out of combat, though.

If your group can handle wall-to-walls, they're way more fun (as long as you're not the healer). DPS get to put out bigger numbers and the run goes by much faster. Most of my FC healers complain when I wall-to-wall in 50/60/70, and I understand that because it's way more stressful to heal bigger pulls. I do it anyway because I know they can handle it and we all legitimately do want to be out of there sooner rather than later, healer aneurysms be damned.

The trick is that I'm also a weird tank. I believe that Sprint exists to help people catch up to the tank, not for the tank to go full Sanic Speed as often as possible. So I don't pop Sprint when I'm tanking dungeons unless I need it to avoid a boss mechanic. (On the other hand, if it's an alliance raid, Alexander, or MSQ roulette? Sprint's getting popped as often as possible. Get that Syrcus Tower nonsense over with ASAP.)

Tbh wall-to-wall pulls are the reason I still enjoy running dungeons. Single or generally small pulls where I spent most of my time with Glare/ Malefic/ Broil spam and don't even need to use oGCDs and time things right feel like a slog. As a healer, I'm all for wall-to-wall or at least as big as the group can handle if a dungeon doesn't has any gates besides bosses.
I've started to think of Sprint as a sort-of dmg mitigation, because once you tapped all the mobs, you can sprint into the next group and don't get whacked on the way.

Sprinting was never really that important to me. I don't sprint when I big pull as a tank, and I don't sprint when my tank decides to sprint and do a big pull. Unless I just get a sudden urge to move slightly faster, which is rare. Both go perfectly fine for me.

Then you're wasting damage and healing and quite likely ensuring that a pull that would have merely be intensive becomes impossible. There is absolutely no benefit for not sprinting. You save half your max HP or so, avoid confusing your dps or healer, and arrive at point B faster than you otherwise would have.

If you wouldn't accept someone saying "Hey guys, I'd rather just stop and wait for a while in some fire," there's no reason to be okay with no sprinting, either.
