DPS/Healers pulling in dungeons

[Thi]

The question is how are DPS are ahead of you to pull ahead if your wall to walling? The mobs die and everyone moves, the DPS should not be ahead of you enough to pull ever.

Hmmm... As a tank main, I don't believe we have a priority in pulling unless it's a Trial/A-raid/Raid. Just pop a sprint when this happens, learn from things instead of being frustrated by them.

Honestly I don’t mind if they do pull for me as when I am running towards the next group of enemies the mobs running after me are being damaged at the same time, and sometimes drops hate on me to the dps.

just press ur auto run and then take a sip of water, aint nobody got time to look at the scenery for 3 WHOLE SECONDS

oh and pls pull the bosses immediately too while at it (but not with ur gapcloser, dont screw ur melee pls)

As someone who likes tanking dungeons I've noticed a trend, at least on Materia, of DPS and Healers deciding to pull.

This can be in the form of using a ranged attack on an enemy I haven't reached yet (waiting to get into melee range for an AoE). Or if I pause for 3 seconds after a boss to take a drink of water, by the time I put the bottle back down the DPS has run off

I am not talking about the case where the tank only pulls one or two packs and the healer is encouraging to pull more by bringing a few friends. This isn't a small packs vs wall to wall issue.

I don't remember really ever seeing this on NA/JP DCs but maybe that's changed too?
Is this something players on other DCs are seeing?

You probably don't use sprint a single time in a dungeon like 98% of tanks in FF. Use it on cioldown every pull. Problem solved

TLR. Get good

Talk with your party members at the start of the dungeon or during as needs require to be sure everyone is on the same page, it's actually that easy. It's also so easy to establish or take back main aggro as a tank (literally one button) that anyone not doing so is purposely throwing a tantrum or playing poorly. The dungeons for the most part are designed for double pulls and any healer/tank combo has all the tools needed to handle these by 50.

Any tank refusing to do the tasks of their role in an attempt to "punish" the other members of their party is literally breaking ToS so good luck with that. If you don't want big pulls for some reason, clearly establish that to your party and if they don't want to go along with it then simply leave. It'll save everyone the headache and reports on both sides when the conversation inevitably goes sideways due to egos, unless they start overtly harassing you.

Majority rules friendo. If the majority of the party wants to go slow then the speedrunner should bow out. You aren't being forced to do anything as you are free to leave if a party isn't meeting your desires, so yes very logical to me.

but you are not FREE to leave. if there be no 30 min time out then it be free, but as king as it there its any thing but free. that why people acting rude in df. as they fell they got the power to force others and treat them as trash.

A player being tank has no right to hold a run hostage if they throw a tantrum either. So communicate and sort it out without letting your ego get bruised or leave.

It's obviously not something that everyone simply starts doing, but learning to pull fast as a tank pretty much eliminates the need for dps or healers to pull anything. The sooner one learns this, the better.

Completely true, learn by doing.
