Goring Blade Pointless?

Goring was one of the few things they got right from 50-60 IMO.

Care to share why you think that is? or is that just a statement? cause that really doesn't add to the discussion if it is just a statement now does it... not to mention I'm not saying get rid of it I'm saying move to skills around so they are more inline with the other Tank classes and increase PLD dps buy a small amount. I love Goring Blade as a skill too but I think it's sitting in a very odd place and this small change would be an amazing difference.

It was a general statement, but mostly due to the fact that PLDs entire 50-60 JA additions pretty terrible, IMO.

We knew they were adding to Riot. Royal wouldn't have made sense since it has 0 emn modifier the hate from savage allows it to be used more. So the 540 pot from Goring is nothing to be sad/mad about coming at the end of a previously meh combo. I never have MP problems. If I'm flash spamming I'm putting Goring up on all the mobs. (mp and DPS)

I am pretty happy with our 3 combos, I do wish Royal has some sort or enmity boost. (x2-3) Low enough that you wouldn't pull hate as an OT but high enough that we could tank more efficiently in SwO.

My grips with PLD are Clemency which is WAY too slow and extremely poor for raiding. DV should hit the PLD, making it more usable as a MT especially with its long CD. Sheltron is fine. Shield swipe is very lack luster, oGCD with a 15-20 second CD would help PLDs MT DPS problems.
