I still don't see the problem with PLD.

So you aren't the top choice for killing Serket? Well, how do you expect to code a game to make it impossible to kill level 60 NMs without a specific job at level 90?

So you aren't the top job for Abyssea? Well, as long as WHM can keep a WAR alive, you won't be until you out-DD a WAR, which will never happen.

It seems to me like the only complaints PLDs have are that they aren't 100% obligatory for a party's success at EVERYTHING. I suggest you swap over to PUP or some other job that has it worse so that you can enjoy the bliss of PLD again.
