PLD dps needs to be buffed, current dps a joke

[Phoenicia]

Snip.

I swear you do not read my entire posts.

As a WAR main for the entirety of 2.x, I main tanked ALL my progression raids except T8 and 9. And I have a few Phoenix server firsts and seconds I can claim including T12 and 13. So you claiming that "people like me" kept saying PLD is absolutely better is utter BS. On the contrary, I advocate WAR main tanking because I know how strong it is. Also if you actually read my posts, I kept saying that if PLD's eHP advantage isn't cutting it for you, let the PLD OT and have the WAR MT. You end up with more DPS without changing your raid setup. AND you gain more utility. Stop putting words ignorantly into my mouth.

But you playing with "several" WAR MT in farm content is not the same as "blindly progressed raids" with a WAR MT. PLD has been, and always will be, the safer option. Every time I talk mitigation, I talked "Safety", you just choose to ignore that and claim I said PLD is "better". It is like how you stupidly say "it makes a run faster, not better".

DRG's stigma of being bad was because DRGs had long animation locks on their jumps and kept dying to AoEs in THIS GAME. Yes them sucking in FFXI didn't help but it was true that they were no better in this game until 2.45. Do not ignore that DRG was the only class that brought absolutely no raid utility. And it was lowest DPS in 2.0 (BRD did more DPS then) and remained lower than MNK and NIN until 2.45. Then NIN was slightly nerfed and DRG was buffed to have the same DPS finally in 2.45. DRG is still "the cool looking" class (sharing this spot with DRK now) that attracts the bads.

"Legends" are often based on some form of truth.

EDIT: Since I am getting tired of this thread's stupidity and in an effort to let this thread die, this will be my last post in it. Take my posts with a grain of salt. In the end none of our opinions matter as SE will collect actual data and based on that buff/nerf classes. But as things are, PLD will not be getting a buff without getting hit in its safety. Not to mention videos and parses were posted to show how PLD is not far behind WAR in DPS.
