10 steps to being a bad PLD

[Xbuzz]

There are also the ones who use Riot Blade -> Flash over and over. Those are a treat.

On large aoe packs I spam flash until out of mana (CoS too when off cooldown), then I start weaving 1 riot blade combo with 1 flash, all the while managing defensive cooldowns. Towards the end of the pack when alot of mobs are dead then I start spamming riot blade more than flash so that i'm gaining back mana for the next aoe pull. You need to be close to full mana at the start of each pull otherwise you won't be able to keep enough aggro. The downside is that towards the end of large aoe packs you might start losing aggro when you're spamming riot blade instead of flash, but your job in speed runs isn't to prevent every tiny bit of damage on party members, it's to get through the dungeon asap. If dps taking a couple of negligible hits to the face at the end of a pack means that you have close to full mana for the next pull, then I consider it a good tradeoff.
