3.1 PLD changes look good

[Donjo]

So you're mainly saying is it's fine because we waiting this long, hold out for something else that MAY or may not change for the better? I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that logic. Dragging your group down overall simply because is never ok, especially when it's an ongoing problem with no concrete evidence that there is a better change on the horizon.

Things are so screwed up at this point that it will be nearly impossible to make a change that isn't an improvement.

Regardless, what will most certainly happen is something that will affect all three tanks. It's a reckless folly to make a significant change to any of them with something like this on the horizon, especially when 3.1 will give everyone greater opportunities to get the amount of gear necessary to minimize the trouble any particular job conveys.

Only if you're making the assumption that the planned changes don't impact the tanks equally. If they simply fiddle around with how attack is calculated for tanks based on existing primary stats, as it seems most people are guessing at this point, then that change would impact all of them nearly the same.

If that turns out to be the case, tweaking some potency or changing an enmity modifier here and there to even DPS and threat capabilities for PLD relative to the other tanks wouldn't be a big deal; the changes would scale right along. If anything, it would make more sense to me to get the relative DPS and enmity about where you want it, then do the across the board adjustments to how damage is calculated for all three of them.
