Why Speed Pulls?

Snip *3

Again I point out if you're relying on MY AoEs then you were screwed before you got there, This is not a matter of numbers it's a matter of practicality, I can use HT+RoT combo and Consistently hit more targets with more damage than DS. And something you are forgetting, prior to 2.4 DS was weaker than a Non-Comboed RoT which is why it fell out of rotation. And it still messes up my rotations as, even though it's not required for the combo, my chaos thrust combo still does extra damage from the rear.

If there are more than 4-5 mobs I don't trust Doom Spike to hit them all. Mobs don't just stand there, they move too. Now after the horde as been thinned and now that DS has been buffed it is now worth the 160 TP hit the last few mobs into the ground with now that they're heavily wounded.

I still don't think any of you "Number Worshipers" have actually put the time into understanding the job as I have as not only a dedicated Melee DPS but a Carrier Dragoon on top of it. There are some things you just can't learn by copying a rotation pattern. If it was all patterns and rotations then why would we even need parties to run dungeons at all? Just let us rent NPCs for places and never speak to each other. (I still remember how unfriendly 1.0 was just before it's ending.)
