    SE will only fix PLD when their are enough "PLD is dead" cries.
    Problem is, every time we get a rally started, someone comes onto these forums and starts the "NO PLD IS NOT DEAD I HAVE THE SOLUTION" derail.
    I've been tanking since 2003. PLD is not ok the way it is now. The current reality makes Earth Staffed Byakko and Seiryu days look like the golden age.
    PLD IS DEAD.

    Pld is not dead. I have the solution.

    Dead horse. Beaten. I promise the "Krystal method" of "Scream loud enough and make enough threads and eventually they'll fix it" doesn't work. It's just obnoxious.

    You're 100% wrong about that.
    The establishment of these forums, although late, came for that VERY PURPOSE. To listen to the player's feedback. Get used to SE fine tuning things to the player's desires. Maybe you haven't played FFXI long enough, or know how SE used to be like, to understand or comprehend just how significant a change like abyssea and the introduction of these forums is.
    How is PLD not dead? Its more useless than PUP, more useless than BST, and offers nothing to a party or alliance. There are at least 2 Jobs that can do everything PLD can do better.
    DMG mitigation : MNK, DNC and NIN and even SAM will take far less dmg than a PLD will.
    Enmity/hate Control: Anything in the game, including post Gimped CE RDM, will control hate better than a PLD just through Tier 3 nukes and curing. Heck even a SMN's pet can hold hate better. BLM is a better hate control tank than PLD.
    Kiting: BLM and RDM will outkite PLD, WAR Probably too.
    Soloing: BST/PUP/MNK/NIN/RDM/DNC got PLD beat down. Only Ochain raises PLD's ability to solo like these other jobs. I'm not saying PLD can't solo, it can. I've soloed a lot of things on my lolpld such as Cerberus @ 80, Khim @ 80, Fafnir @85, and trioed Jorm at 75. Those same jobs above could have soloed/duoed all these NMs, much faster and they have.

    Tell me, do you think PLD can solo Dark Ixion? an Ochain/Almace PLD with 10 others took 87 minutes yesterday to kill it as Lv.90's, because they were trying to make sure the PLD kept hate. They had masumanes/vere/ukons/gandivas and some pimp ass blues. The day before, me(vere mnk/dnc), Masamune sam/dnc and a ukon war/sam downed Dark Ixion in 8 minutes cuz we weren't being idiots and didn't have a PLD in party who would cry about letting him hold hate.
    Upbeat solos Dark Ixion as NIN/RDM. You think an Ochain/Almace PLD can do that?
    Give pld enfeebling JAs/Spells that don't require MP and just gil, and MAYBE PLD can.

    PLD IS DEAD.
