    Pulling a boss as PLD: How I do it and why

    So i have been experimenting with optimizing my boss pull as PLD and I have a pretty consistent burst pull that I have put to use on Susano Ex (which I will use as exemple). I am currently in a very laggy place for work and cannot do savage content but I would be interested to hear from savage raider if such a method could even be useful.

    So here it is:

    Start countdown....
    Between 4 and 3,
    -Bullwark+Awareness
    -Start casting Holy Spirit
    (start running forward at 0.3 sec before end of cast)
    -Shield Lob as soon as in range
    -Fight or Flight
    -Circle of Scorn
    -Fast Blade as I run through the boss
    -Spirits Within + Savage Blade as I turn around facing the boss
    -Shield swipe + Rage of Halone because by then it proc'd

    Reasoning:
    -Using Holy Spirit while countdown is still there is basically making it a free OGC ability. It has a much greater range than Shield Lob and OMG the Potency
    -Popping Bulwark and Awareness at start of fight doesn't REALLY remove any big mitigation from your toolset... Plus, it makes the opening damage less so it`s a nice window for healer dots and whatnot
    -All in all, we're talking about a 1760 potency pull (sorry, i'm not enough of a theory crafter to figure out exact potency with Fight or Flight)

    All I know it, It works wonders for my initial Aggro as I pull and I do see a nice peak in damage which I obviously calculate on an old solar casio calculator and NOT using a third party software...

    Care to discuss?
