Why do people bother dodging aoe during trash pulls?

[WoW]

Everyone keeps calling MPK a bad troll. But he still manages to pull a lot into his threads. I'd say he's doing a good job at that.

But regardless if he's trolling or not, he does have a point here. He's not telling people to eat AOEs to make life harder on healers, but rather telling them to eat the ones that can barely do any damage, which are every AOE from trash mobs in dungeons, to not lose uptime. So it amazes me how some players are against anything related to improvement because it's an advice given by "an elitist". He's literally telling people how to do more damage while being lazy and pressing less buttons in those dungeons!! Suddenly people now wanna do the mechanics and press more buttons. smh

They don't punish players for AoEs enough outside of raid content, that's all it is. Thankfully they only have one dungeon per major patch and spend time making better party content elsewhere, so it's not a big deal.

To give to some perspective, apparently they saw a lot of savage groups last tier just eating Infrit's soccer dad AoEs in E6S and taking the damage stack, putting more on the healers to heal through it. Now this go around that if you eat any savage AoEs you are going to get damage down, and enough of that can seriously hurt a progging group clear that savage floor. People avoid damage down like the plague in Savage.

There isn't much they can do aside from upping the damage in some form, but it's tiny content in the game now, not even a major selling point anymore.
