Yeah it seems like the only thing that has the potential to even resemble something useful is the cover adjustment. But we won't know what that is until they release the update notes I guess?

PLD seems like a really hard job for them to update. Of course not wanting to take the simple route of "Just increase PLD's DD potential." But the reality that lack of DMG output is really why DD's are better. They have great defensive options as well as great DD output. What sense does it make that the best DD's all have some really potent defenive JA's/Traits but PLD has no potent offensive JA's/Traits.

Maybe if they gave PLD a JA or Trait that gave a DMG taken increase effect to the monster when facing the PLD? Sort of like an "I'm distracting you so the DD's can hit all your weak parts" kind of gaze effect? Or something that allows PLD to enhace the DMG potential of the party enough to warrant not having a DD in its place? A significant boost in TP gain for Shield blocks?
