Give PLD In-Combat Raise? (3.0?)

[Superskull85]

Well aesthetically considering my cross class actions are "beast" (WAR) like actions minus Stoneskin I would have to agree. I mean because of the WAR actions you can actually add better damage and raw survivability but that is more "primal" "dark" focus which is not a PLD. However I then look at SMN and realize that 3/5 of my actions are arrow based with 1 that is almost entirely useless. Then you can take a look at SCH who has access to shields and offensive magic both of which complement their cosmetic design. Take a turn backwards looking at BLM which, in theory, should be a pure offensive magic set gets ACN actions that are on the opposite side of the spectrum (healing/shielding).

I don't even have 5 cross class actions selected for WHM and WAR gets more damage reduction (though being HP based in nature)/aggro tools. DRG, BRD and NIN's cross class actions mostly fit their theme with MNK being close to them with a damage reduction when, in theory again, they have more of a dodge theme like NIN.

So I can definitely see the need to add to the cosmetics/class specific functionality of PLD and am not against more additions but PLD is definitely not alone in its quirkiness regarding cross class actions.
