When is PLD Getting Fixed So It Can Be a VIABLE Tank?

but paladin is certainly much better than it was. few minor tweaks to mp regen giving people the option to use different gear more freely. maybe let them use melded cobalt/sentinals or soemthing without crippling a huge source of there mp.

Never said it was required. PLD can already keep better hate than War without it. I said that they can make more use of heavy darklight letting them get higher enm gain. You know, cause the endgame gear is supposed to help you.

But I don't want to look like a tin can. Although I love the stats.

The -cure potency is murder on those though. It kills your versatility in a lot of fights... Personally, I don't think it's worth the increased enmity if you can already hold hate. If you're having issues holding hate and not staying alive, ok, use it. But otherwise I don't really think it's the best trade off.

Wrong set. DPS set has -cure potency, the Heavy Darklight set doesn't have that.

Stats favor PLD over WAR.

Definately worth it. The Flanchard I reckon would best be swapped with Militia Tight's and the ability to use boots but that's just me :D

All I want to know is how/when does SE plan address PLD's issues? A dev. response with actual time frame would be nice considering both 2.0 & PS3 beta are right around the corner and the gap between PLD & WAR is still very vast.

Thanks!

Just learn how to play it

Fully Agree, those tights are amazing for PLD. Then you can also get boots with it and add HP to it.

These forums are the downfall of this already miserable game

I'm guessing you can't eat 100 tonze hits as good as PLD, I would estimate that you infact do it 4000 times worse.

He has a good point though, because a group of posters circle-jerking over how skilled they are despite PLD's current design is not going to help the job get ahead in the long run. It took a step in the right direction, but PLD is still far from being fixed and complete.
