Dude really arguing with us about FFXIV dungeons when all his posts indicate hes getting his opinions about them from other people.

Some people truly are beyond reasoning

talk about deluded fanboy syndrome.

Yes, but it’s pretty cool to even touch those kinds of numbers! Good luck!

Want to know why I go insanely fast? Because for the last 20 dungeons, I haven’t had an upgrade and I’m stuck at ilvl 337 just trying to get to 345 so I can run heroics. So the faster I get through them, the faster I can get gear.

If i was practicing route and pulls for M+ I wouldn’t be pulling from boss to boss.

No one practices M+ routes in heroic, key pushers would rather do M0 with no loot than run through a heroic to “practice routes”

I almost always queue as a healer, and while I’ve been gone for about a year, I still really enjoy healing, I’ve healed on this monk for quite a while. Unfortunately, the vast majority of dungeons I’ve done this expac have been gogogogo stress fests, even after saying something. With that being the case, I’ve just been ignoring any quests having to do with dungeons, as well as even wanting to queue for a bit of a change from farming herbs.

Yeh, sorry OP. Us M+ players will be out of your hair soon. Tomorrow we’ll be gone and you’ll have your 30+ minute queues and 30 minute dungeons back.

I actually had a group complain that I was doing too much DPS, that as the tank, my job is to hold the threat… which I did… It just didn’t help that I was doing some dungeons in 6-7 pulls… Armor Spikes + Tough as Nails talent is hilarious!

And somehow they think the tank nerf being rolled out tomorrow is going to put a stop to it. Rofl.

Yea and being melee having to chase mobs through the dungeon

Facts. I was told just last night in a dungeon by a dps “your health is barely moving. pull more and hurry up”.

Been there, done that. I’ve been running as heals, so I tend to have a lot more flexibility and pull than most dps would. DPS don’t want to initiate anything.

I however will, and have.

This is the issue. When tanks go full blown, niblets to the wall, and leave everyone else behind them, it is creating issues.

He’s not…

While I Can probably in my current state bum rush nearly an entire heroic I generally don’t (because I want to know what stuff things are using for when I go into M+), BUT I’m not going to go slower than bejesus… Every death I’ve had in groups I’ve tanked going even at a moderate fast pace was someone standing in an OBVIOUS bad. They’ve
done a fairly good job this expansion making it visually obvious on bad happening

I also used primarily instances to level my destro lock (blah blah OP blah blah), I experienced 1 wipe, and it was because a tank forgot a couple mobs and let the healer eat it

Tanks are expected to be able to handle quick actions, and generally out gear the content as quickly as possible going into higher tier encounters… They want to do so quickly and if that means power running instances so more advanced content can be handled slightly easier than good

(I’m also not saying that there isn’t an issue, but don’t complain when people are taking advantage of something that will result them a net positive in the long run)

You need to learn what snark is and how to recognize it, cupcake.

It’s pretty funny to watch DPS get pelted with rocks in Uldaman as you keep pulling to the next boss. I’m sure they think it’s less funny.

Yeah, it is, but when things are stable then it’s just a matter of comfort. Often people are content, and sometimes they aren’t, so it’s just kind of a matter of adjusting to what most people are okay with.

This. It happens to me in almost every dungeon I do. Sometimes the healer tells me to pull more, or the dps will tell me to pull more, and if I do not pull more they will do it themself, and then we wipe and they blame me in some cases.

You really shouldn’t be dying as a tank right now. Even if you overpull and everyone else dies, it’s not a wipe until you go down. Maybe you’d get a pass next week after the tank nerfs, but this week tanks are actual godmode.
