[taps mic] small pulls are not inherently slower than big pulls, and any time advantage gained by doing big pulls is immediately negated by a wipe

Tanks set the pace—at whatever the healer is comfortable/capable of managing. Don’t pull ahead of the tank, and tanks check in with your healer first.

And don’t forget that in lower level dungeons, some of the DPS jobs don’t get good—if any!—AOE yet, so larger pulls are really useless in anything under 40/45.

This also applies to healers as well — if the tank isn’t comfortable with big pulls, don’t pull for them. Even if you think they have good gear, don’t do it. They may not know their kit very well, and they don’t deserve to be yanked along by a rescue into the next pack of mobs because you’re impatient.

I was trying out warrior for the first time years ago and was extremely nervous, and was doing small pulls so I knew what I could handle. A white mage then proceeded to pull me into multiple packs inside Dzmael Darkhold because she was annoyed that I was taking so long, and didn’t listen when I politely asked her to stop.

Just don’t. It’s not the be all end all.
