Big mobs in dungeons are the worst idea SE ever came with

[Nedkel]

I really dont get the idea of making all mobs so big that you barely could fit them in the AOE skills.

It is not fun to play against them, these mobs are pain in the arse to manage for a tank, because they spread like crazy and cant be positioned well enough.
Sometimes 1 mob is taking as much space as 3 groups of mobs from earlier expansions this is plain out ridiculous.
I really hate doing expert dungeons because of it, the worst offenders are probably mobs from Malikahs and akademia anyder, they take so much space they actually surrounds you because of how big they are. It forces us to move all the time while doding AOEs and this annoys other team members because mobs are dancing around like mad, often going out from the AOE spells range or making melee jobs life misreable... please keep in mind some jobs has aoe in the cone and you basically hurt these jobs by making mobs so big that cone AOEs could hit only two or three.
Please stop doing them bigger and bigger, its not cool neither its fun, its super annoying.

Not all mobs are big, but I get your point. Those who are very big, and when many, it gets very annoying and unpleasant to play the content they're in.

Not all, but the thing is they throw few of them at us instead of 1 or something.
In SB when we got a big mob it was usually only one, maximum 2 and a bunch of smaller mobs with them. In this expansion common sense is gone and we have like 5 big mobs at one time and its total mess. x_x

If you're having trouble as a DPS hitting mobs with an AoE cone, my tip is to target the one farthest from you and position yourself in a way that all of the other mobs are between you and it. It's a lot easier than it sounds even with lots of shifting mobs and AoE telegraphs. As a RDM who spams 7 conal attacks in a row on large groups of shifting mobs, I don't have any issues hitting all of them with it this way unless the tank is moving the pack as a whole rather than just having the mobs shift around in place.

The only annoyance related to mob size in packs I have with large groups with large mobs (and it's just an annoyance, not a real issue) is that the larger mobs which have larger HP bars tend to get pushed towards the edges. Since it's better to use any single target oGCD on the higher HP mobs I have to make a choice to use my single target oGCDs (Fleche for RDM) on the weaker central mob in the pack that I have targeted for the circular AoE or click/tab target to the big mob on the edge to make sure the single target oGCD lands on them and click/tab back to a central mob for the next circular GCD. Most of the time I'm switching targets anyway to make sure my circular AoE are landing in the middle of the pack anyway since that's just best practice, so it's not too much trouble to switch out to an edge mob for Fleche when it comes up.

I think it's a good thing, we should get more caster types too and enmeis which cannot be tanked which just attack random players, so tanks would need to think a bit more so they can stack more enemies together.

As a dancer main, I have to agree that so many huge mobs are a pain. Dancer aoe is Melee, so basically, we're trying to stand in the middle of this pack and hope it hits everything. In the middle of so many HUGE creatures, you have a hard time seeing yourself, let alone any aoe markers on the ground. It's not a lot of fun at all.

[Shinklet]

Yeah, all mobs should be the same size, same shape and have the same skillset

[einschwartz]

I agree. They're not hard to deal with. Just, annoying when you have to dance between aoe in melee range. Sometimes the big one blocks the view for aoe. I usually set the tank as focus target so I could normally see where they are with the indicator on their head. Even then, the large mob ontop the others swallows the tank whole making it hard for me to spot them.

[SummonerSenah]

The worms in the last leg of the Burn are annoying for this reason.

[Rufalus]

I understand the issue but I also feel like if we keep fixing everything that is inconvenient it can become overfixing and boring. Sometimes it's nice for things to not go our way, if that makes sense. Just sometimes. The good parts feel more fun when there's some annoying stuff to contrast against rather than it all being uniformly efficient pulls.
