[dev1071][dev1072]PLD/DRK update

[Juilan]

You sub WAR for those, not for Provoke. Provoke is pretty terrible for anything other than recovering after a hate reset, and for that you have other tools, better tools.

i still think /drk is better than /war for everything listed by Ophannus less Fencer... it gets more atk bonus and you can use stun for hate... not to mention last resort spikes hate more than provoke...

[Ophannus]

Same hate spike as LR from provoke. DNC gets stun also and can use every 30 seconds and lower the NM's evasion/defense or m.evasion with steps which helps everyone's damage or ability to proc enfeebles, instant self cure for hate on top of native cures is nice as well.

Really.....thats all? Easy paycheck.

what i do not understand is they made 2 pages worth of job adjustments for drg, a job that is perfectly fine, and they give drk/pld not even a quarter of a page of 1 adjustment. i am sick of this word "balance" that they keep throwing around.

[Silversky]

Seriously SE? While DRG and COR got several great adjustments, PLD and DRK got 1 small potato... where are all those promises that you announced earlier for PLD and DRK? Wow... if I'm the boss of the developers, I would question the team that is responsible for PLD / DRK and see if they are slacking off, that JA time reduction is too easy to program/adjust and it's less than 1 person's job... guess those extra developers should be laid off lol... will be totally a cost saving over all!

hell one thing I'd hope to see from weapon bash improvement: increase the damned damage, Shield Bash does a decent amount yet @ 99 weapon Bash for ~25 damage What The Hell

potato.......more like a chip.

Because there were no other adjustments on the "list". Granted that on a very, very, very rare occasion, more can be added, this is highly unlikely given the fact that Paladin and Dark Knight are not, in fact, SamuraiPuppetmaster.

Relax... they are listing job specific changes, wait until the actual update to rage.
For example: if they changed the cure formula so that Cure I-IV give better returns for main job curing (WHM, PLD, RDM and SCH), that would not be reported under Job Adjustments: Paladin.

[Rewyen]

Good lord, would it kill them to maybe add a job trait for two-handed delay reduction? I mean, I have no problem engaging a mob, going to the bathroom, make a sandwich, write a few letters and come back in time for my second swing (provided I didn't miss the first one -coughloldrk-).

[Elgorian]

Incoming - Footwork Recast 5 min to 3 min!

That aside, in all honesty, 5 minute to 3 minute on Shield Bash isn't a BAD adjustment 2 minutes off is by all means going to be helpful, Yes they can do a lot better, and should be doing better, but hey it's a start. PS2/3 XI partitions are being increased so I expect to see more stuff in the future, merit group 3's etc.

Kinda crappy compared to what COR and DRG got but it's progress in the right direction.... I hope.
