How to be a 99 Paladin in P7S – FFXIV Guide PLD

P7S is a lengthy fight with slow-paced mechanic 70% of the time. But despite the high uptime and the slow-paced mechanic, there’s always room for improvement in this fight.

In this guide I cover my thought process while optimizing this fight with Paladin, including mitigation, pot usages, rotation, etc.
