Best Skills Rotation for PLD Speed Run WP?

[Mister-Wonderful]

People who are saying ballad during pulls are doing it wrong.

First off Relic makes life east mode. Second make sure you have Fight or Flight up before ever pull. Pop it with Circle of Scorn and then Flash untill you run out of mana. Then tab target Riot Blade combo until you have some man for a Flash and keep Circle of Scorn on cooldown. Hope that helps =D

Also make good use of cover if its 1 DD destroying them. Everyone forgets about cover.

1. Ballad is mandatory for a wpsr or youre going to run out of MP and can't flash.
2. Don't over-flash. If your threat bars are low for everyone, stop flashing and do 1 RB combo to build mp instead.
3. If you run out of MP with ballad and mobs are still alive, then your groups' dps isn't enough to kill the mobs fast enough

Their DPS is low because you have the bard doing 20% less damage because of ballad rofl.

Try foe requiem instead, Faster kills by far, and your WHM should be doing Holy whenever possible, which also does more damage with foe requiem up, and stuns the mobs slowing down damage greatly.

Another thing I see a lot of tanks do wrong is flash every mob. Try to flash only the big groups of mobs on the way to pulls, and by using sprint as early as you can you will easily have enough TP for a shield lob on the stragglers like the single tonberries, instead of having to waste a flash on 1 mob, thereby saving a bunch of mp for when everything is gathered so you can spam for longer before needing riot blade. Having ballad during pulls is why you need ballad during pulls, you wouldnt need it if you had Foe requiem instead and good mp management on the way.
