I'd have to agree with Yeargdribble. Being a 75 Taru PLD myself, I find it does take a lot of skill to do any of the end-game shenanigans.

Edit: If it takes no skill, then why (when I was leveling up PLD) could only a few BRD's be able to land ballad on me? Because the others lacked a lot of skill. They could have had all the gear in the world for all I care, but it didn't bring me the ballad.
