Why do people bother dodging aoe during trash pulls?

i just stand in the aoes AS the healer

It's because they never seen just how much damage they actually do. Most are a joke that the passive hp regain by simply being alive is enough carry to the end. The game teaches to savage, ultimate level but the normal level is extremely forgiving.

the dedication to necromancy within this player base is admirable.

Because I'm not too lazy to bother.

Only 2 people necro. Myself is one. You can guess the other. I necro fun threads though and not so much drama. Well one drama thread I did necro only because I found so.ething perfect and I couldn't pass it up.

Now back on topic...I can see what OP is saying as some of the pre-50 stuff and some others you can safely eat an aoe as a melee and just keep trucking so no worries.

As a MNK ill just Mantra + Bloodbath myself to full. 2nd wall to wall I'll 2nd Wind, and 3rd W2W I'll probably bloodbath it again. Now that Riddle of Earth does mitigation and a regen I can rotate that in now.

However the only time I will not simply eat a mechanic is if it adds a debuff to damage or resistances and thus make things harder on the healer in the long run.
