    I have to strongly disagree with this advice about regen. Putting regen on the entire party will pull to much aggro since it causes you to pull hate every tick. Multiply this by 4 and you will die very fast. I even avoid using it if the tank is trying to hold more than 3 mobs or having a difficult time in general.

    Not the greatest of options, but if you have a summoner in your FC, run the instance with them. Should things go bad, they can toss out a few Physics to keep people up till your lag spike subsides and you can get back on it. In addition, they get a raise so should you die mid fight, they can get you back up. Lastly, don't be afraid to use the limit break to save the group. If you come back from a lag spike and several people are low on health, it is an easy way to bring everyone back.

    None of these will save you in later harder fights, but it should be enough to get you through.

    Well you can tell how much aggro you have in the Mob Bar so Shroud of Saints is just 1 click away. That was mainly a tip for the boss as the tanks I'll say 'rarely' lose aggro if they're paying attention. Not saying everyone should do it was only my 2cents

    & Gratz on finally beating it!
