The 2 main differences I draw from your answer is that our opening combo differs, and you use Req+Holy spam sooner than me (where I wait for the end of my first FoF).

If I switch to your rotation but implement my little holy spirit stunt, I'm well enough high in MP to Requiescat and cast 5 HS no problem... So it's still a gain there.

I don't know, seems like it's something to work with. Launching a goddamned truck at the boss as you pull seems logical.

I'll try the old Casio calculator again with your modification, but i'm not convinced Holy Spirit dead first is anything but good.

What do you think about fishing for shield swipe?
