PLD cross class abilities suck

[Enkidoh]

Raising cross-classes restrictions, so i can use swifcast on war, BECUASE I WANT - yes, please.

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but please enlighten me as to what benefit this would give you as WAR? (Unless this is simply trolling).

Guys just give PLD Benediction and call it a day, problem solved

The trouble is, that ship sailed long ago with 1.0. PLD was fitted out as a pseudo healer in 1.0 because... CNJ/WHM was the only dedicated healer in the game, and they needed another healer out of necessity (remember ACN was dummied out in 1.0 and SCH and AST did not exist). Hence in ARR how ACN was given SCH as an experiment, it was an attempt to streamline Job roles and thus relieve PLD of healing duties, allowing it to concentrate on being a straight tank (in particular, the Duty Finder requires Jobs and classes to be specific roles, having PLD able to both tank and heal would cause... certain potential issues with players queuing as tank for the 'adventurer in need tank bonus', but then insist on healing in the party and then the party wipes because they're not actually doing their job role properly.

Having said that, having some healing capability for GLA/PLD is not a bad thing at all, but that was more or less solved with the addition of Clemency. So really, I don't think PLD really needs anything more, except maybe a slight healing boost for Cure. But it's not essential.
