It's not that great, and I was running in that video with a heavy mitigation spec, not really optimized for aoe grinding.Originally Posted by 'sensenmann',index.php?page=Thread&postID=41702#po st41702

I didn't pick up reckoning and you can see that, with all the parrying going on, my swing timer is lightning fast anyway.
Most pulls I judge/seal wisdom so that I can max rank consecrate. I'll judge light / seal wisdom if my health gets to 30% or so. Light/light is only if I get a hammer of justice and things start looking scary, which really hasn't happened tbh. In fact, I think the only time I've gone light/light is when my shield broke and I didn't notice for a while.
The key here is the Sporeggar rep shield (Ancient Lichen Guard) with a felsteel shield spike. I use a backup shield (which unfortunately doesn't have a spike on it yet, but gets the job done) in case my shield breaks before I notice the durability is getting low.
I see more people doing this if they bless wis instead of sanct. Since I work best in the AD range (35% health), letting them whiddle me down is not much of a concern. If you're really nervous, you can wear Devo aura while you gather them up and do fancy strafing to try to block some attacks, but I was only getting hit for like 10 damage with ret aura, sanct, and my back turned to the mobs.Oh I also noticed, and was wondering, though I will test it myself.
Run through pulling the mobs with your back to them, or do a wierd dance/jump so that you are still running forward-ish so you aren't slow, but at every jump, turn around so they are not hitting your back, i.e. doing more dmg, and you can't block them.
When you're doing cath for hours and hours you tend to get lazy. I use auto-run on my mouse to gather all of the mobs and I click my buttons so I can use my free hand to play with my cat, change the tv channel, and eat yummy snacks. Woot for laziness.
Try the 2-pull if you get comfortable with the 3-pull. It's really not that bad. I can do the 2-pull pretty easily. Haven't gotten the guts to try pulling the whole thing in 1 pull yet, given my gear.I'll go test this now, pull the whole room both ways and see which method I end with the most HP.
