Signed a billion times over. Still waiting for SE to wake up and update PLD to 3.0 like they did every other job.

Every time one of us PLD mains buy a piece of eso now we're further committing ourselves to a job that is either being shunned by the current raid or a job we don't enjoy as much as PLD. Please don't punish the die-hards by making us wait for Void Ark to gear up our fresh 60 WARs and DRKs.

I think it's ok if PLD is weaker vs. magic OR they bring the lowest DPS. I don't think it's good balance for them to have both weaknesses. Their DPS while tanking (shield oath) and during AoE are particularly bad. Other classes have something that improves their DPS while tanking/taking damage (vengenace + unchained for WAR and Blood Price/reprisal/reset on low blow for DRK). The only thing PLD gains while tanking/taking damage is shield swipe, and that's only vs. physical attacks and it's a DPS loss.

Their support (Clemency, stoneskin, divine veil) is unwieldy, so that isn't making up for their deficiencies. Hallowed, while very good, just isn't enough to close the gap.

Bump/2nd signing. Would really appreciate someone from SE commenting on this. We've yet to see a PLD in a4s with good reason. At least give us some raid utility if we are unable to fulfil the tank role as well as DRK/WAR. It'd be nice to at least look pretty and toss a couple Clemencys out without completely hurting the raid groups progression.

Amen brother.

Signed. Definitely agree that Paladin needs some changes (at the very least TP & Enmity issues).

Signed. PLD needs adjustments either on the DPS side or to make its mitigation/support role worth bringing the class in current Savage content.

Just... something...

Signed. Pld could use some love.
