I just hit iLv215 on both my PLD and DRK, and I'm usually MT on Sephiroth like 99% of the time. It was an easy curve for survival as PLD, but DRK took some learning and work. That said, I was doing Sephirot originally as an iLv213 PLD with the 210 Eso weapon and shield. I started as DRK at iLv212 with Eso weapon as well.

On the initial pull with Shield Lob then Scorn, I can also sometimes get a Shield Swipe triggered. My first combo is Halone. Those things by itself are solid grounds to start the Royal Authority combo since Savage Blade is also an enmity-booster. In the beginning, Shield Lob, Scorn, Savage Blade, Halone is a minimum of 4 attacks that'll keep your enmity high if you don't miss.
