Why do people bother dodging aoe during trash pulls?

[MPK]

They do no damage. Just stand still and spam your aoe combos

Worst case scenario healer can adjust

[AncientWillow]

Because i dont trust random healers unless i played with them with before veside true 1-4 dont hurt at all but when there are 12-15 of them during a big pull they add up alot..

Beside to many ppl dont know their healer moves even though they are 80 and crowned lol to be trusted

Please tell me you are not serious...

If there's 12-15 aoes in 1 wall to wall pull there's something really wrong with the party

Most people dodge the aoes that way the healer doesn't have to waste a gcd on you when they could use it healing the tank who's getting hit by 15 mobs or doing more aoe damage.

The only class that arguably shouldn't be dodging aoes is BLM with ley lines, but even then they should have the common sense to not put them down in melee range

I can aoe just fine on the move, mate.

They're not. They have a history of trolling. They're not very good at it though.

Aoes hit you for maybe 1/5th of your HP in current expert roulettes. This means healers don't have to GCD heal anyone at all standing in aoes that isn't the tank

don't even have to GCD heal the tank either tbh lol

You don't. Tanks get hit for a very low amount of damage, especially when mitigating. It is in fact, in almost all cases a gain in DPS to eat the aoes in all classes in favour of getting more damage in.
