PLD dealing with these rediculous speedrun parties... A little help?

[Ashkendor]

Take a look at my gear and my weapon I know how the fuck to play my class better than most people.

Ehh. Alright, I'm not doubting your ability to play your class here, just pointing out that this isn't a very good argument. I've seen tanks in i90+ that don't know shit-all about playing their class. Anyone can grind tomes and kit out a tank, that doesn't necessarily mean that they know how to play it or that they even care to play it correctly. I've seen some very well equipped tanks play very badly and as much as I'd like to believe that they're just trolling, either way they're terrible. In any case, I do wish we had better tools for AoE threat, but Flash is all we got. -.-

I play with too many wars that don't know they're class and frankly all sound like you guys trying to say they can hold hate like nothing. Sure they can but when I gotta heal them and I can't do anything else but spam cure 2 just to keep these guys alive, and I mean literally anything. If I stop curing for a second they will die because they are too damn squishy. Large hp doesn't do crap when they take damage as easily as everyone else, it just makes me need more mp to top them off.

Not to mention when I can't do anything but spam cure 2, my mp drains fast and slows down the rest of the dungeon, usually resulting in us dying later because of lack of mp. I hope that wars damage is making up for the fact that I can't use holy now, kuz if it's not then it's not worth it, I take pld any day.
Few times I've ran into wars who don't take that much damage but very few. And bottom line for me anyway is that it will take about twice the cures to get a war topped off then it would a pld.
Surviving is more important then going quick kuz if you don't already know what will slow you down in a speed run, it's dying.
I know there are gonna be those that say I suck at healing then, but I'll wait for that so I can see who's opinions are credible and who's just trolling

i dont have this problem anymore or at least i can regain quickly. flash doesnt throw off your combo so say you lose on fast blade, flash right after and switch to whoever you lost. other than that watch your aggro guages and hp, a good roh on a yellow oughta put it red. me if its a 3 mob, i dont mark, i att lowest hp and flash in combo. like ot for t5, flash, flash, att small snake, flash, switch to other small savage blade then back to first roh. after that you should be on big snake and maintain flashing in combo. if its a drg or mnk getting down on just one enemy let them get hate if they push you, youre not the only person that can switch targets

I am a 97 paladin and will sometimes have agro problems from 100+ BLM. Thats normally right at the very end of the mass pull though. The best you can do is flash on your way through, get to kill location, fight or flight -> Flash until OOM and then riot blade combo and flash some more. If you are really having problems with threat you could buy some HQ mana potions for that additional flash. For the most part you should never be halone comboing anything until the last 2-3 mobs, thats when my threat starts to go down hill on everything else.

Best of luck to you.

Circle of scorn, flash until mobs are dead, use riot blade combo,ether or bard song (if you have one) to keep MP up, when mobs are lower in number spread RoH combo around, pop cooldowns as necessary.

I disagree that pally is 'pathetic' at AoE aggro. while i feel warrior has to work a little less to keep aggro on groups i think this is intentional as warrior has to work harder than pally to mitigate damage against them and while pally contributes much less to AoE dps it's made up for with flashes blind effect and simpler damage mitigation to survive a little longer rather than helping mobs die faster.
