3.1 PLD changes look good

[Reynhart]

If you are still stuck on the idea that you should play PLD or any job for that matter 100% of the time when doing raid progression then you're completely missing the point of the game.

The point of the game is that you CAN play the job you want, not that you HAVE to play the favored job of the month. Again, the fun thing is that, when WAR was "supposed to be" inferior, you didn't see PLDs come and slap you for wanting to be better...

I understand that you feel like 'PLD is bad and will never be good again because those mean short sighted employees at SE wont make it good!' but they design content and you dont.

Right, they design content, and it's obvious they have a perfectly accurate view of the game, and that no player can ever point some flaws...apart from all the time when they did and jobs were adjusted...you know...like WAR in 2.1...
It's probably a wonderful design to give DRK abilities and traits that activate when he parries or when he's hit and then 1) don't give them the parry buff as a cross-class skill, 2) give them the ability to boost their own parry buff...by adding Evasion bonus to it, and 3) give them a blind line AoE so that they won't be hit as often...

So when they make content that you really want a shield for, you can go back to thinking they've validated your main job.

Strange, I'm pretty sure I've said that designing content specifically for PLD is also a problem, because it would reduce the viability of DRK. See ? See ? I'm thinking about other jobs, not just my own...

By the way, I play all three tanks. But my PLD is just accumulating dust, because, whatever the content, my WAR or my DRK always offer something better.
