FINAL FANTASY XI Job Adjustments Manifesto: Paladin

[PandyTwi]

Odd because a WHM + MNK can kill that dog without any issues assuming your WHM doesn't suck at keeping up with buffs/cures.

yeah, a whm mnk can when you don't have like 30 DD's on it making it spam tp moves. =P

Should be fighting 10 different NMs with 3 people each then, 30 people on one is dumb every time and asking for trouble. And honestly, unless that Paladin had an Aegis, they would not have had any real advantage over the other melees assuming they were halfway competent and had an MDT set and Barfira/Shell anyways.

Though, considering there were so many, it's really no surprise that they didn't have any sort of MDT set. Hardly a case to be made for Paladin, really. All you're saying is that bad players are bad.

As greatguardian said, sounds like bad players and leaders not how awesome PLD is over other jobs.

It was a sad story the weakest tanking job there was the best geared... I don't see how that's funny especially since you were a part of the event in some way.

thread derailed again?

C'mon guys give feed back and suggestions. lol


I for one want Cure V for PLD, with some merit tweaks, and a little larger MP pool. Just a little bit

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Uncap Spirits Within damage. If Ark Angel EV can do it, why can't we?

That would make a dent in Abyssea.

[Judge]

an ability similar to 3rd Eye.

[JA name]: Granting the ability to completely deflect an attack. (would be as helpful as shadows but not overpowering. since pld is supposed to be a master of defense i would think he could dodge an attack ever now and again)

and the dual modes like NIN or SAM has.

Defense mode: increase spellcasting speed and chance to prevent [previous JA name] from wearing off.

Offensive mode: increased double attack rate and crit hit rate.

SE are never going to push jobs away from their traditional identities.
Quit asking for PLD to get a job ability like Berserker. Its not going to happen.
Quit asserting that PLDs are supposed to be great/uber/awesome sauce DD's. They're not. Go back to WoW. This is the Final Fantasy realm.
Quit asking for stupid new defensive traits to be introduced just for PLD. They already have Parry & shield block, PDT, MDT, and a lot of other ways of mitigating both physical and magic dmg. Increasing effectiveness of already existing defensive traits is ok, but introducing new defensive traits is just pointless.

Best Idea I have heard here is to grant PLD a job trait where his/her presence in party causes everyone else's enmity to decay.
They would have to tweek it so that the more effort a PLD put forth the faster the enmity decay of his/her party/alliance would be.

I like this a lot.
