No More Big Pulls in Dungeons

[Bakugekiki]

I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here...

It irks me greatly when I'm in a dungeon duty and a tank is pulling multiple skirmishes at once, even as much as an entire leg of a dungeon. This is neither smart nor effective, especially if a healer cannot contribute to the damage dealing because (s)he is too busy trying to keep everybody alive and expending his/her entire MP pool in the process. It's even more irritating when I as a tank am being asked to pull more than one skirmish, and people start getting salty or even quitting because they don't like my pace.

IT'S NOT A RACE, PEOPLE!!! When you do a dungeon, you are committed to it for 90 minutes, and while it should never take nearly that long with a decent party, there's no need to attempt to blitz through it and risk a wipe, either. Stop trying to be a hero, and concentrate your attacks on one enemy at a time! I guarantee, they will go down a lot quicker individually, than if you try to take out 213128901 of them at once.

How about you respect the time of your party members? Why queue if you're not going to?

As I said, when you do a dungeon, you've made a commitment for the next 90 minutes. If you cannot handle that commitment, then why are YOU in the queue...?

If a dungeon is taking 90 minutes then you have bigger problems on your hands than an aversion to bigger pulls.

Hmm, I don't recall reading anywhere that says I've forced to make a commitment for up to 90 minutes. I think your just making this up.

It's quicker with big pulls, and ShB gave AOEs to EVERYONE.

It shouldn't even be a question. Though I understand this entire thread is meant as a troll. Even if I respond to it seriously, it should be common sense that each mob in a dungeon will take the same amount of damage to kill regardless of whether you fight 1 at a time or 15 at a time. Their HP values remain constant. Therefore as long as your healer can keep up with incoming damage, the combined aoe damage from your dps will far outweigh the total damage you could accomplish over the same period of time in small packs.

Every dungeon has a recommended time limit.

I as a tank am scared and panic real easy. I work best in the back, hitting people with rocks (Or light now I suppose) and beams of ancient destruction, while also keeping everyone alive. Though as a tank, I fully understand that everyone with me, has a life. I prefer not to waste anyone's time. So I push past my fear and always strive to at least do normal pulls in every dungeon. (Two mobs) This isn't just about your feelings. Everyone is playing this game too. As a leader, you want to get your team in and out as quickly and safely as you can. That means trusting your healer, and pulling what you both can handle. Aoe damage is a thing. And it helps. Trust me.
