So lets just say they give pld an offensive overhaul that puts them on equal ground with other DD. Now what? We are back to the days of atonement. People will use pld that produces just about if not more damage than other jobs who's roles are to damage.

I posted a long drawn out thread:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...Better-Balance

In that thread, I try to show that if paladin become the next best DD, then your war, drks, drgs, sams, etc will be in the same place (if not already) as pld. Balance is a relative term. You don't want all jobs to do the same thing, instead you want all jobs to do their role equally and efficiently.

The root of the problem for paladin is clear: other jobs that specialize in different roles can tank better. Why pld when war can DD and Tank? My suggestion in that thread is simple, gives tanking a new approach, and more importantly balances jobs and encourages use of more jobs.
