I did the same, had it macroed first which didn't work. Recently though I accidentally did ex roulette with pali instead of war and got lost city. We had a super weak party and I've been trying to get better so I switched to sword oath. Tbh heals was a straight beast, but shield swipe helped a lot. After I got aggro I was sw everything, you can get two inside of combo I think. The damage still came in so I'm unsure what the pacification got but I was doing decent pulls after I switched to sword and it helped.
