Meanwhile the only voiced macro I have is "Shake shake! {Shake It Off}" to reference an obscure video game. I enjoyed my TASTE THE RAINBOW, MOTHERFUCKER! Berserk macro, but it fell out of favour since it lost its Pacification gimmick and I had no reason to announce it. Maybe I should tie it to Inner Release instead.

My only macro is "/p Resurrecting <t>" which sounds all well and good but the number of times I've fatfingered while DPSing and you see things like "Resurrecting Mateus, the Corrupt" is kind of embarassing.

I don't LB3 on Monk because it's BORING as gently caress having been the only LB3 for ARR. Same goes for BLM. Why would I deny a Summoner the chance to use their actual cool LB3?

At least DRK job quest makes up for the it and all the suffering w/randoms. Once you have a basic grasp of the game you start realizing that what people call “speed runs” are the bare minimum that people should be able to do once they hit 50. Especially if you’re doing roulettes. No one wants to spend 40 minutes running something daily for the hundredth time.

At least DRK job quest makes up for the it and all the suffering w/randoms. Yeah wrt going fast, it is going to vary a lot on your group. I recently DRK tanked from ~62-68 in the SB instances and got lots of comms. I always ask at the start. "Big pulls or normal?". If they don't answer or are uncertain I just go normal. I also don't pull big unless I'm geared up. This is part of why I ask because if you have under geared or lovely DPS and an under geared tank or healer, then it's probably not going to go well. Inversely if everyone is geared or synced down it can go quite smooth. Chain running helps for comms too. You can pick up on a lot of the nuances, like where to position and move to pull the and group the packs and what cool downs to blow, instead of just reacting. I noticed more comms at the end of an instance cycle vs at the beginning when I was learning to tank the place and wasn't geared up yet. But as a healer (especially one used to having a fairy to lean on), it can be extremely stressful if you go too fast. The other night I healed a FC member tank in a Dusk Vigil and I didn't think about it until we went in there, but I was still in baby 50 gear (115 at best) and they started doing a few big pulls. I did my best to keep up, because that's how I am, but it was pretty tough. The bosses were much easier by comparison. Similar situations would happen on SCH during late or max level SB instances at launch. Especially I'd see fresh 70s not even in their blue class gear jump into EXDR and pull big. Then everything gets compounded if your syncing down since you lose parts of your kit. But it can be worse when leveling since you might not be familiar with your new tools. (I didn't realize Medica II had a regen component...). In the story above it was my first instance since I had gotten holy as well and was fumbling around trying to figure out when to use it. So basically even though people might be able to keep up and not complain, they might not be enjoying it. Sometimes you get that great group though that's all into it and you all pull everything and blast through the instance in no time, get 3 comms, and it feels great.

I don't like to mega pull in leveling dungeons. 50/60 and EXDR is a different dynamic from LLDR, in my experience.itskage posted:But as a healer (especially one used to having a fairy to lean on), it can be extremely stressful if you go too fast.

I had the same experience leveling scholar. I just hit 51 and queued LLDR, expecting like Cutter's Cry or something and ended up in Dusk Vigil, still in the level 50 quest gear, with a chain pulling tank. We were able to get to the end, but it was the hardest dungeon I've ever healed.

I play primarily healer and I can't stand it when tanks do tiny pulls. Mega pulls are what make playing a healer tolerable in low level dungeons.

I'm the other way around. If the tank is going and max pulling without asking/warning and I'm stuck healing their rear end I get really pissed off. Normal pulls are easy and relaxing and surprise twenty enemy pulls are the dungeon equivalent of blasting death metal in the middle of a therapeutic massage.

Thing is, I don't do ex/70 dungeons for a relaxing experience. I do them as a part of my video game chores that enable me to gear up for the other stuff I'm really doing. I just want it done as fast as possible because oh my god I've seen temple of the fist 50+ times now and I'm sick of it. But different strokes for different folks (I main healer btw). EDIT: I mean even with max possible pulls I'm still not being strained at all.

So what you are trying to say is, tanks are doomed to get criticism, unspoken or otherwise from their healers if they do little pulls, big pulls or anything inbetween?

The only time a tank shouldn't be doing the biggest pulls possible is if they're in a low level dungeon with a party that doesn't have their AOE abilities yet.

Another thing that some people don't take into account with big pulls is that some trash just hits really hard. The Ochu's in Sohm Al stick out as one instance. Had plenty of times with a tank chainpulling something that involved them and splatting to the floor. In Bardam's, the tiny birds that accompany the Zu do an inane amount of damage, autoing for a couple thousand damage and their special attack adding on another thousand or on top of that. And that's all they do. Most really good parties I've been in have in some part known about this, from tanks using extra defensive stuff, healer's using extra heal/stun stuff and DPS focusing on the problem mobs while AoEing everything down. Sarrisan posted:good tanks will get comms from good healers, and get bitched out for "stressing" bad healers Also vice versa is true. Good healers will get comms and get bitched out for stressing bad tanks. Bad healers will get comms and get bitched out for either trying to DPS and failing or not DPSing at all.
