The real problem with PLD

[Greatguardian]

There isn't a single job in the game that isn't total crap when wearing total crap gear so I don't see your point.

I agree with you.

A pld can do decent without Aegis/ochain. You just won't do as well as those plds with them would.

Aegis helps some with the -mdt on A LOT of new NMs, but plds can still reach the 50% cap with gear.

As for ochain, plds still block a lot with capped shield skill without it, just not crazy like an ochain does. A real pld will spam reprisal every 2 minutes. Phalanx/Sentinel also helps.

The tools are there for you to play the job, you just have to use them.

On another note, I also agree that PLD should have provoke as a job ability just like how they gave it phalanx.

It's called Flash.

Yes, but if pld were to receive their own provoke, then they could try out other sub jobs which might be more beneficial over /war and /nin.

Aegis now passes the 50% cap.

Aegis now passes the 50% cap.

Yes, I already knew that.

Edit: Would it be better if I would have specified the cap for everyone besides Aegis users?
