PLD dps needs to be buffed, current dps a joke

But yeah, PLD aggro (at the very least) should be SE's priority over anything else. I'm leveling my PLD atm and having a blast getting around all the clunk lol. But I know that is going to be an issue if I ever raid on it.

Psh. Summer is the time every Tank should be wearing a Bikini. Armor is so stuffy when it's 90+ degrees... and all that steam in Alexander just makes it worse!

There was a time last week where my efforts to get Pally to 60 led me to a Stone Vigil Normal in the Leveling Roulette. I shrugged and decided to play with my Flash usage and do something I generally never put much effort into: maximizing the time Flash renders enemies blind. It ended up being pleasantly helpful. I even discovered that bosses there weren't immune to Blind either. My party members may have been wondering why that silly Paladin was using Flash on a single target, but I was just putting on my sunglasses and going "can't touch this!" as Frost Breath harmlessly whisked by.

So yeah, there's some clunk around but it's still wistfully pleasant to find a new use or benefit to something that you'd never considered before :)

Speaking of "Vigils". When I was in Dusk Vigil at level 51-52, I used to mess around with Cover, Iron Will and such. So on the first boss, when the boss targeted the healer, I ran over and cover the heal, but made sure I'm out of the orange area. Boss stunned the healer and pulled them, then hit the healer, but instead, I got stunned and knocked up..... along with the melee who was flanking and the BLM who thought he was safe! It was hilarious that to save 1, I screwed the whole party! haha

Also Stoneskin is really cool in that fight.

Personally in AoE pulls, I flash once and then proceed to RoH splitting the first 2 hits on 1 target, then switch ROH a second, then first two hits on 3rd, and spreading swipes in between. Seems to work wonders as long as I watch out which mob is getting hit harder.
