To Tanks Who only pull One Mob at a Time......

[CptBraden]

? I’m genuinely confused here. What do you mean necro/necroed? I’m a solo player that doesn’t engage much with the community. I just found this thread a few days ago and I didn’t say I force people to go my speed, I don’t wanna go their speed either so that’s why I use the npcs. I was just saying to the original person asking “for those who pull only one group why do you do it?” And that was my reason why I personally pull 1 group at a time, I was just saying before npcs were added that’s how I pulled and played because I enjoy playing that way. Once they added npcs it was great for me so now our opposite playstyles aren’t clashing.

As a healer, I always tell the tank, "Pull as much as you want! I gotchu!"

As a tank, if I see what looks to be an experienced healer (post 30 job quest) I'll pull w2w and see what happens. Pre-30 healers I'll pull small at first, then build up to w2w if it looks like they can handle it.

This is why I don't tank (or heal) because people will hate my rate of pulls and I'll likely hate theirs. Better to just be the DPS who lets them figure it out and start with the AoEs when we stop.

And if we all eat the floor because they pulled too much, not my fault in the slightest because I know I was pushing buttons and it was on them for over-estimating their mits and heals.

Since you couldn't be bothered to check it out, here's what ChatGPT had to say on the matter.

You play as a tank to get commendations. Usually better if you also press cooldowns on your teammates to heal them, save them,etc. bring phoenix down and even better. Don't have to say a single word.
In 99% cases it's tank pulling everything it can. If healer fails to deliver, then stop pulling that much.

I feel that, this is why I don’t tank with people anymore. I’ve had too many bad experiences throughout my time playing. I tank with npcs and dps with people.

lol I prefer talking to people for answers. Well the reason I posted here, I was looking up why people have to rush so much on google as I don’t understand the mentality, so many people have just accepted rushing content as the norm when it shouldn’t be. I just don’t see how you’re enjoying the game blitzing every thing you do. While looking this up I saw a link to this post that took me directly to the first persons post asking that question. So I just answered why I do it the way I do it. I didn’t look at dates of the post or anything like that and didn’t realize I was doing anything wrong. As you said you saw yourself, I’m barely online as it is and haven’t really posted anything on this site. I barely use it. And what does HTH mean?

You are the tank. You are the leader. Whatever you do is right. So it is pretty chill.
There is probably only one dungeon where you shouldn't collect all mobs without thinking, and that is Mt.Gulg.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, it's not like we don't have other topics spring up every so often with people arguing over who gets to dictate the speed of dungeons, the tank or the rest of the party, when it comes to pulls. And then there's the dreaded controversy over "you pull, you tank". Personally I find tanking even with NPCs troublesome at times because they can be a bit "late" with getting them out (squadrons being the worst at this), so I largely got all of my tanks to 100 via solo content and PVP (where you're not really a tank but a "blue DPS").

And I assume "HTH" means "hope that helps".

I mean I agree, it shouldn't be.

But this is the culture that Square Enix has cultivated by making dungeons mostly the same, bar paint. If they were actually fun and distinctive, then I think people would find themselves more willing to not blitz everything.
