The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why.

[MrTherm]

Temp. Will does need some love. I use it fairly often but not nearly as often as it should get used. Works great in A3S/Neverreap and tons of old content that I don't feel like listing, but the big problem is the fights that have knockback use it 3 times per 1 cooldown rotation.

Divine Veil needs ALOT of love. Its way to convoluted to use most of the time. For what it does, it shouldn't require a healer to activate, and i also question if the range shouldn't be increased due to the size of most arenas we fight in raid wise.
Non-raid. It has no use. Solo... HA!

Awareness is.. meh.

Also, protect. Its pretty useless for PLD, but its better than raise/fracture/cure and all the other crappy skills we get to pick from.


As for DRK. I don't use Abyssal drain outside my mindless grinding of brayflox hard solo for that damn opoopo. I can effectively solo speed run it thanks to abyssal. Besides that, its use is limited. The MP cost is a bit to high, and is absurd if you want to proc the drain effect on it. I almost wish it always had the drain, but do something to balance it like make it an oGCD instead of a DA-GCD or just double the current MP Cost. Still less than a DA proc before it.

I actually find Unmend to be the most useless. Well, post-plunge at least.

Living dead. I have mixed emotions on this one. I think the 'undead' status effect should have an aura effect or SOMETHING to help notify healers.

I love Divine Veil ... when it actually works.In some normal content, the barrier effect can seriously take a load off the healers, but it's yet another Pld move that has ZERO utility for the Pld himself. That's kind of silly. I always thought that the Veil should cause some sort of effect on the Pld besides the barrier. Everyone else gets the barrier, but the Pld gets... something else. I dunno. The way it is right now, it's close to the bottom of the barrel, because I can't use it for myself.

I agree that Undead should have a visual que of some kind (so should Divine Veil, for that matter, so healers know to activate it). It's not critical, because I can usually inform the healer in advance of when I plan to use it (Ie: Ravana's Soak mechanic), but there are times when they let that timer get dangerously close to dead...
