    If you play PLD at an average lvl then yes its probably fine.

    PLDs flaws are apparent when you start playing with top end DPS, healers and tanks.

    Of course PLDs stance dance while MTing, why wouldn't we? We have a plethora of defensive CDs we can rotate while in sword oath. WARs and DRKs can sit in their offensive stance doing maximum DPS while maintaining hate. PLDs are stuck with Halone spam to keep hate off the OT and DPS. (SwO)

    Our AoE DPS is nil. Yes, flash can hold hate off DPS and Healers, but on turns like A2, why even bring a PLD?

    Turns like A1 our WAR can MT and push close to 900 dps, my PLD is stuck in the 700 range. That's a problem in job design. Turns like A4 PLD has zero defensive advantage but are a huge DPS loss which makes the turn harder. PLDs are supposed to be more defensive but then they make encounters where none of our advantages work.

    Sheltron - good design, but now PLD is king of physical tank busters (if they add any)
    Clemency - garbage, too slow, too much MP, if you are finding a use for this move (besides solo use) then you need better healers
    Divine Veil - better then most people give it credit but not needed
    Goring blade - awesome, needs a hate bonus
    Royal - awesome, needs a hate bonus
