    Major rule of Tanking and DPSing, stay in range of your Healer. Also don't make assumptions about CD status....ever..FWIW I'm healer and nearly always Sprint, but don't expect that

    I 100% expect every member to keep up, healers included.

    Sprint is a personal CD to be used when the player feels best.

    A tank might want it for mitigation while chain pulling while healer/DPS will want it to dodge the AOEs that occur once the tank stops pulling more or during boss fights. That means that other than when you first enter an instance, it's pretty unlikely for everyone's sprint to be off cooldown at the same time.

    Don't expect others to Sprint just because you're going to. They may not have it available.

    And that gap gets bigger as the other player has to wait for their Sprint to come off cooldown to catch up.

    Expect all you want. You still have a responsibility to be aware of what the rest of the party is doing and act accordingly. It's not all about you.

    The same can be said about the healer 20 yalms behind everyone else.

    The range on most heal spells is 30 yalms. 20 yalms puts them in the sweet spot of being able to dodge ae or mechanics and still keep you in range. What's the problem?

    Expect all you want, but in a team environment the slowest member sets the pace, if that's the healer then you'd best act accordingly. I mean, unless you like wiping? And again, I sprint all the time, this is not a personal argument, it's just facts. Myself I HATE pokey players in DF but that's DF for ya, patience is a virtue?

    Now why in the WORLD will that ONE member is able to have all of the power to set how the "Pace" should be? Just because they're moving sluggish? I think not and that person should be on the SAME pace as everyone else. This is so one sided...
