Can anyone give me some PLD tips?

[Ebonwings]

Ahh thank you all for replying and for your advice

Guess it's just a matter of really paying attention to each mob and rotating my combos and flash

Yup that's basically it. Keep pushing forward, you will be a great PLD and keep spamming flash, because that's how us PLD got kicked out of the party because we flash everyone xD

I will double check this

Tested on target dummy with another PLD in identical gear.
FoF does not affect flash.

I quess! Flash is a spell!
FoF increases only physical damage dealt.
Berzerk affect it only becuase it increases overall dmg dealt by 50%, not just physical.

It was already long known that FoF doesn't increase any aggro generation for Flash.

Um.. Pre level 40, before you acquire shield stance. Use 1 flash per mob in the group. (If the group is 3 deep), cast Flash 3 times in a row, then rotate your weapon skills on the three enemies. If your group is killing 1 target at a time (no AoE) do 2/3 of your weapon skills on the main target, then every 3 skills, target the 2nd or 3rd enemies and use a skill. Cast flash every 30seconds (if the group is alive that long).

Most low level dungeons, I'll pull 9ish enemies into a big ball (if there are AoE dps in the group), pop cool downs, and just spam flash while using the weapon combo to get mp back. (Infinite flash and you don't loose hate even if there are two blm in the group).

It's pretty funny in a 60 dungeon. You can Sword Oath on bosses the whole way. but with any decent DPS in group, you'd basically be doing nothing but ROH spam just to keep up. which... is still more dps than if you did only DPS combos in shield oath. You end up keeping up the STR DOWN debuff on boss in sword oath. If you're gonna shield oath, I presume the reason is you have a good healer who can put out tons of dps, in that case you might as well ROH every 3rd combo, to increase the dmg reduction, because it honestly doesn't hurt your already low dps that much.

I regularly run with good healers on my PLD, staying in SwO for bosses. We usually end at 1k and 800-900 (me and the healer) after the boss fights. It really doesn't change much. You go from needing literally 0 heals with a tank in tank stance to needing like 3. As SCH, those "3" heals amount to "press Rouse on cooldown" lol.

Avoid shield oath wherever you can, it's a massive DPS loss. Do 1 agro combo in shield oath then swap to sword oath for more DPS and faster clears, also helps with meeting enrage.

Trade your sword and board in for an axe ... Kappa lol
