    This plays into it quite a bit as well. Most people would want to burn me at the stake for saying this, but sometimes I actually prefer it when my dps on Pld does not cause interrupts, because it allows me to creep up on someone with dmg.

    When one of my attacks interrupts a cast, the caster's knee jerk reaction is to automatically start running away from me so they have the freedom to cast. When my attacks don't cause interrupts, however, the caster often doesn't realize how much chip dmg I'm doing to them until it's too late. I''ve scored a lot of kills (especially on casters) simply because people underestimate how quickly a Pld burst cans stack up. That said, using that burst blows half of their party utility.

    Almost any decision a Pld makes is a trade off of some kind. I'd say the hardest part of playing that job in Feast/Fold is making good judgement calls, because every decision a Pld makes can, and often does, have just as many negative consequences as it does positive ones.
