List of the funny things you see in duties

I think it depends on who you are partied with. If they outgear you by a good margin, keeping aggro is trickier, which is often inevitable in roulettes.

I had a party even advise me to make flash a regular part of my rotation while I am leveling.

You started quite a bit earlier than me if your join date is correct. It might be I'm getting more level synched party members.

There are a lot of things you don't "have" to do that you should be doing. That's one of them. Especially at the low levels. Flash is more enmity than a combo'd Savage Blade, against everything around you. Nice DPS will accomodate you. Mean DPS will just take hate and kill it without you.

Ah, good point! I didn't even think of that. :D

But if a GLD/PLD has no problems with keeping hate without resorting to Flash spam, it isn't something s/he should be doing, ideally. It's a waste of MP and one GCD that could have been spent on something beneficial to the party's progress.
