    Large pulls

    I got my pally to 60 recently. I've tried to do 60 roulette, ended up in the usual and the usual asked me to do large pulls. I tried, lost some aggro to healer, healer dies then i die. They run to start and we start wiping on a loop. They ended up kicking me.

    I did another one fine, normal pulls. Then i tried leveling roulette. They asked for large pulls again. Lost aggro to healer again and we wiped, once and i quit.

    I don't know how to do it, anyone help?

    The secret to doing big pulls are two things: Make use of your defensive cooldowns, and spam AoE attacks. So, as you run along gathering mobs, hit them with an AoE as you pass just in case you need a heal midpull. Then when you've gathered enough, pop a cooldown, position them, and just spam your AoE skill until your resources are dry.

    Now, if you're spamming AoEs and the healer is STILL pulling hate off you, then you just need to upgrade your gear. If people bitch at you for doing normal pulls while you're still gearing up, just inform them that hey, your gear isn't quite up to snuff yet and you're working on fixing that.

    Circle of Scorn (if i recall correctly) is your friend once you have all mobs gathered. I also like to rotate between targets as let's face it dps always attacks different targets, lol
    Shield lob, flash and circle of scorn for PLD.

    The biggest thing is to not get tunnel vision on a single mob, because the dps sure aren't lol. As a pld, you want to pop rampart as you gather mobs so the healer won't pull aggro trying to heal you while you run. Be aware the dps are probably smacking the first set of adds, so I typically flash twice and shield lob the one that is getting hit the most as I run up to the next pack.

    When you get all the mobs gathered, pop CoS, one more flash and then rotate your RoH combo across all mobs with a Spirits and shield swipe mixed in as well. Use shelltron on cd to get that sweet shield swipe and extra mana. If you see one add dropping fast, give it a little more attention with the sword. Pop a heavy cd if your healer starts to go ham with the holies, gravity, broil, and don't for get you can heal yourself a couple of time during the holy stuns to let the whm go out of mana lol.

    Can't edit, on cell phone.

    Just remember, if you get kicked while trying to learn, they have to wait for another tank to queue as inprog or beg their LS/FC for help. You can be back in the same dungeon with a new group in less than a minute.
