So....who cares?

Honestly, if you're so hung up on efficiency that people aren't allowed to join your groups because they don't contribute enough damage, even though you'll still win...

To hell with that lol

You don't like doing speed runs?

Not particularly. I suppose I'm one of those few people who *GASP* enjoy the content as it is.

I think you'll find people who want to play efficiently will care. An organized linkshell will do what they find to be most efficient. We don't have to deny people joining our groups cuz we don't PUG anyone.

PUGs are a wildcard always, no one can control that.

So you'll take someone in your shell who wants to go PLD?

Yeah and we can adjust our strategy sure. It's not how we typically run things but it's not like we're not gonna achieve a speed run because we changed the WAR to a PLD suddenly. There are factors like knowing the instance well, having group synergy from playing with the same people for awhile, and being familiar with boss mechanics, amongst other things.

Are we gonna do it "as fast". No we might miss out by a few seconds, but if you can clear these raids in 20mins or 24:59m then it's no different than my above example about over-generating enmity. Now if you want to do more raids in less time, then you want to maximize everything and PLD isn't really part of that little equation right now unfortunately.

This was a 12 minute run i belive, it was one of our avg runs soo 12-13 mins on my GLD, my PLD parses roughly 10k less damage on avg

Is that primarily due to Divine Veil? Did you pop off the 15 min (2hr in ffxi terms) ability?

I didn't use my 15 min. ability on PLD and my parse showed that Gladiator took less damage. But maybe it was screwy... I was trying to find a justification to use PLD over GLD.. I'll have to give it another go tomorrow.

Would love to see how it compares to a warrior parser! There's a lot of info in the thread that makes me a bit suspicious of the status quo.
