How to fix pld as tank??

Agree 100%

Often times it is not the fault of the PLD for loosing hate, but of the DDers or Nukers for just full attacking on everything. I see this often in pickup groups, but rarely in parties formed with friends. Thief works to keep enmity on the Paladin, DDers keep a watchful eye on enmity generation and TP feed, and Mages buff/enfeeble, and strike with a nuke at the right time.

Aside from a few specific NMs with hate resets, rarely does the Paladin actually loose the hate, and for those particular NMs, we generally don't use a Paladin as a tank XD

Don't hate the game, hate the players!

As much as this would help PLD become more than an add-holder for current end-game events, it's just not as reasonable of a strategy to use when you're stunning and zerging the NM to paste.

You have no clue how enmity works.

Aegis and Ochain are only really requirements for some end-game content, I've seen Paladins without these do just fine in places like Dynamis and Abyssea who now how to play the job, and have otherwise good gear and shield skill. Also, in Abyssea you have atma to offset the lack of these two shields.

You really have no clue what you are talking about, listing 2 events where pld isn't seriously needed for pretty much anything.

Have all of the DD's pull back on their WS' and DMG, have SATA return, and only nuke on MB's!

Fixed!

Boy, that is so right.

I think PLD need job ability or spell to hate reset.

Monsters are doing this to mess up with PLD tanks, so why can't PLD take this matter in their own hands?

No matter how much enmity increase for PLD, as long as DD hitting hard, it turn back into the old cycle. and THey cannot possibly make PLD a better DD, becoz it is how they define PLD.

Then a better way to make PLD better is to let PLD hold the power to reset hate for their own advantage. No matter how much accumulate enmity the DD put on the mob, if PLD can wipe them all at their will, they can take control back.

Monsters being cheap is fine because the computer is a cheating bastard.

I don't think I should have to explain why your idea is kinda.. broken if a Pld was able to never lose hate ever.

Perhaps not 'Never lose hate' but some sort of resistance or immunity to hate reset would actually prove useful against newer mobs that like to be a dick.

Paladins can be fixed by having its class exclusively raise the cap in enmity generation, along with having an ability like enmity douse to be used on allies. Some harsh drop in enmity from an ally, maybe ten minute recast.

Then the job becomes broken.. It basically would allow PLD to always tank, while the DD's have little to fear of dying outside of AoE. This is not the way it should be.

Wouldn't be the first!
