PLD & The Test Server

[Cursed]

I know one new JA is hardly anything worth testing - but some of who don't have access to the test server would really like to know what the New PLD JA is like.

Duration
Recast
Increased shield block %
Enmity loss reduction %
Stacks with Reprisal ?

Appreciated

not a single reply. Just goes to show, anyone on the test servers won't be wasting their time with lolPLD.
Blu spells, comet, SCH BlizV, new BST pets, new cor rolls all much more interesting.

SE... you suck.

Duration 1 minute
Recast 5 minutes.....

Can we get with the Devs about a stance or some spells or something, these long pauses in utility are killing me!

I don't know the rest Cursed, sorry.

Maybe people are busy testing things, and/or share on other forums like the one on FFXIAH etc.

Bitching about people not testing things for you, calls for "how about you doing all these tests ?" dude.

Hey, be nice, some of us hadn't had a chance to log in yet...

Block rate at capped shield skill at 95 is around 80 with just reprisal, around 90 with just Palisade. They seem to stack and takes the block rate up to around 95%. All of this was tested in Creed +2 and damage from Dyna - Sandy mobs physical damage (mnk/pld/war/rdm/whm) did not exceed 40 on the strongest crit just after casting.

DMG is fantastically reduced with Rampart now. I saw up to a 45% reduction in dmg from Fire4 in Dyna - Sandy and party-wide PDT of around 35% with just pro/shell and rampart up. Whatever they did to it is working or it's based on some other characteristic we don't see in the calculations.

Haven't tested Abyssea yet, will post in this thread when I do to see what changes.

thanks for posting that.
Looks like it needs more testing
1 minute duration is too little.
and 90%-95% block rate with reprisal is too high.

2 Minute duration. 5 min cool down.
Block rate of 70-75% without and with reprisal.

Personally, I'm far more interested in whether they added shield mastery IV yet. If someone on the test server could check, I'd appreciate it.

Also, it's been reported that PLD gets Defense bonus VI at lvl 91.

Did some testing in the Diorama PvP area.

Stacks with Reprisal.
Duration to low.
Block rate stacked with Reprisal seems like 100% with a size 3 shield.
Block rate without Reprisal 60% with size 3 shield.

Honestly I'm not impressed with it.

You obviously missed the part where SE said that the test server is PC ONLY. At least one server is free of PS2 limitations, lol^^

with reprisal and Palisade its def 100% which is kind of over kill lol.but would work well with a mnk 2hr or something. i didnt even think of going in dynamis to test all this out. i will hit that up tomorrow along with any more mnk mobs i could think of. i tested those two frequently on some mandy mobs in abyssea. Also more pld's to test with would be awesome.
