    I previously responded to you in the tank forum. You didn't respond back to me there, but I had offered some criticism based on your logs. I reposted it below for visibility.


    As far as PLD rotation goes it's pretty basic. You have 2 phases called the physical (Fight or Flight) and magical (Requiescat). You open with Physical which consists of a Goring Blade combo buffed by Fight or Flight. Then you'll use 2 Royal Authority combos before going back to Goring Blade again.

    This concludes your physical phase and you transition to your magical phase beginning with Requiescat and then Holy Spirit 5x in a row. Try not to use oGCDs in between the casts unless you have extremely good ping. After concluding your magic phase you go back into physical.

    Comparing you to me (looking at a O6S kill where you didn't die):
    • 7 less CPM. You were pressing buttons nearly 25% less often than I was. I had 309 casts, you had 246 (adjusted for fight length)
    • You had much less auto's than I did. Make sure you're in range of the boss more often (aka work on managing uptime)
    • Missing some oGCDs (Circle of Scorn & Spirits Within notably)
    • You did not use a single shield swipe, and only used 4 sheltrons
    • Your had 3 more fast Blades than Riot Blades. In addition - you had 42 Riot Blades, but only a combined 40 (RA + GB)
    • 9 less Holy Spirit casts, in addition only 4 out of 7 of your Requiescats were empowered
    • Questionable Shield Oath usage despite being OT
    • No Reprisal?
