need tips on how to WP SR correctly, main issue MP

[Phreak]

Depends on your amount of STR/level of weapon. The tanks you were running with might have been better geared meaning each of their Flashes produced more threat. Maybe your DPS aren't using Quelling strikes. If you really wanna go without ballad it'll be rough regardless things that help is fitting in 2 SoC during your FoF buff and tabbing through the ground frequently for auto attacks and riot blade combo/SW. When I don't run with a BRD I usually flash until I'm out then start building up tabbing through each mob seeing which are the closest to running after another and focus on them a bit.

There's also the option (assuming you have a good feel for how quickly each group dies) of using cover on the BLM or who ever genereally pulls threat near the end and letting them take threat, that's 12 seconds of free time to build up MP (2-3 combos which isn't nearly enough but better than nothing).

The first pull is a full MP dump, the second you don't need a whole lot of MP with the BLM sleeping that group anyways and your main focus is on the Tonberry that unlocks the door. You can have your BLM sleep the moment they're all clumped and then again just as the Tonberry dies.

The pull after the first boss is another full MP dump + change. The next group (I don't pull the nyms instead I Provoke the 2 Tonberrys from up top and run the group around the corner, if there's a Stalker I run back into the room with the switch and the group stacks in a corner and clear the group there) it's just 5 mobs so you could unload w/e you can on flash then tab Halone through the group.

The 2 Nyms and the Nym + Skeleton after really don't need a lot of hate I sprint down, flashing the Nyms as I run by them, and run to the far end pulling the Skele + Nym, running back to the door, there's a bit of a wall you can Line of Sight the group while you wait for your Party member to flip the last switch to get them grouped for a few flashes/SoC to prevent them from chasing the healer while they're keeping you up for the 15s it takes for the boss room to lock.

The last pull all the way to the door you should have full MP + TP. ( FoF + Sword Oath during bosses should give you a large enough threat lead to Riot Blade to build your MP near the end/auto attack to regain some TP.)

I run all the way to just before the door shield lobbing one of the 2 Tonberrys in front of it and running around the Corner poppinng HG and spamming flash until the Nyms catch up and stack with the rest of the group. This one should be pretty easy on your MP with the Mage LB doing most of the work (it produces no threat). Try running back and forth through the Nyms to keep them from hitting you with their spells as well.

Another key thing is do your best to NOT flash until the entire group is on top of you, do not flash as you're running through the groups you are the first person they see (at least you should be, make sure no eager beavers run too closely behind you) and no one should be casting until a few seconds after you stop so they should all be on you in the end.

A bit of a messy explanation but that's the gist of what I do.
