Are you seriously THAT lost SE?

I don't see any overreaction here, OP is completely right.
Anyone who wanted to progress (considering from who I know) Savage without outgearing it already scrapped PLD, is struggling or has incredibly outstanding team which can make up for the anchor PLD currently is. It doesn't take a genius to know that PLD is miles behind WAR and DRK and being aware of the problem and not doing anything with it is really weird.

Either give PLD DPS boost (it might even be aura that reflects a part of damage taken back to the target) or come with less tighter DPS checks and encounters that actually favor him. I am not really fan of making all jobs the same but if PLD cannot be "viable" without DPS boost, then there is probably a need to do that.

OVERREACTION

Thanks you for bringing nothing constructive to treat besides your IQ Lvl of 12 year old

cover: can occasionally be useful in a2 and a4
shield bash: A3 slimes
Shield swipe: wasnt this something used to save tp?
Tempered will: wash away A3
Clemency: occasional
Divine Veil: jumps A1, aoe blasts A1, A2 not really, a3 splashes, sluice and cascades, A4 uuuuh carnage?

O yeah very helpfull in that time in that dungeon/fight where u use it once, let's go outside of there what do we got ? And even inside those situation has little impact on. The fight that there's nothing you are missing from not bringing a parading that a warrior and a darknight cannot do

Current top end content is a dps check, PLD has low dps and no utility to make up for it. Sounds like compatibility to me.

Are you a green with me ? I've never said the fight wasn't a factor of its current situation, instead I was implying that clearly PLD is the issue too, if one class out the 7 or 8 doesn't work with the current meta then there's a clear problem here, beside as our m8 post before it won't change anything since more dps= faster run= less dmg...

By keeping DoTs up and cycling through Hate rotation I inflict pretty decent damage as a Paladin. (Not Proper DPS levels mind, but as much as the healers can contribute at least) That is, Until I run out of TP. Then I'm just "Some Guy Holding a Shield". Warriors can recover TP by the time they hit 60 and Dark Knights can abuse their MP as well as their TP for damage so they don't have as much of a resource issue when played well.

So lets get the info on the TP and VIT modifiers before we all lose our shit.

Did nobody here read the QA post where they mentioned they were changing where Tanks get their DPS from?

Specifically,

Many of those attempting instanced raids in the early stages tend to use advanced materia melding on accessories, which lead to tanks being required to meld STR or VIT. Due to this there were times where the melded accessories were better than the accessories which dropped from clearing the instance. In order to resolve this issue, in Patch 3.2 we will be making adjustments that will change the damage calculations of tanks into a more appropriate state.

Seems to me like they're doing a global change to Tank DPS in general. Logically, one should see how this pans out before attempting to boost the Paladins DPS specifically.
Imagine the rage that would come out of a patch where PLDs DPS was double that of a fully buffed/STR geared Warrior from an unintended doubledip from related adjustments?

Good lord this Forum Community needs to cool it with the rageposts.

LOL, well it did come from reddit, so i'm assuming reddit can only tell the facts and no lies

[Stormfur]

Referencing that post above about tank DPS, I have no doubt that they'll be stomping on DRK and WAR's dps levels to get them more in line with PLD's and not the other way around. Cue incoming ragefest

If you're going to insult people by saying they have a low IQ, at least make sure your post isn't filled to the brim with bad grammar.

Yeah I know was writing with a phone so "autocorrect ftw" and English is not my first language so sorry about that, but you actions and content of your post weight more than some grammar errors. When it comes to that.

OK I do admit I wasn't thinking about this when I was doing the post, maybe those GAMAGE modifier will change things up so it's too early to speak....

MMmmm... Tasty feelings.
