PLD is just boring

[SirPhoebos]

Aesthetics is pure taste. Not all of us want to play the emo kid or the yandere kid ~.^ Bulwark of shining armor likewise suits some of us just fine.

I want to address this point, because my gripe wasn't what PLD was trying to achieve look-wise, because out of action I dig it. It's just that in-battle the end result is unimpressive. It feels more like Dooby than Carrot.

I mean, if you want to play as a Dooby, that's fine. Just not sure a Final Fantasy game is the best venue for it.

If you don't like it, don't play it.

Seems to me that WAR and DRK are about playing on the end and being reactive. PLD is more about playing conservatively and planning ahead. Horses for courses...

Oh hmm this part might be backwards. WAR cant just waste inner beasts without knowing whats coming. I think that's why PLD was used for learning and WAR is used once the fight is known. (lets just ignore the main tank DPS thing for the sake of argument)

FFXIV is an MMO first and foremost. Therefore the classes should cater to different tastes and people. If you like WAR better, just play WAR. Don't try to change a class that is well-liked by others just because you don't like it. There are 3 tank classes in the game. I think everyone can go and find the one they enjoy...
