[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.
I want to make an honest attempt to return to this blog.
If you know of and/or are a ffxiv blog, particularly centred around roleplay/writing, please reblog this post so I can hunt for new people to follow! I’m going to be cleaning house over the next few days.
you know when you really want to talk abt your OCs but don’t know what to say so you’re just holding them up like Simba with a bunch of exclamation points overhead?
