Sounds like you're in for a promising PLD career. Go see if you can take a punch.

This. But to answer OP's question its most likely the update. SE wants us to use the materia stuff to buff our gear up so we can attack like we used to. I'm sure we are all going to start out week. Havent downloaded the patch yet but thats my guess as to whats up.

is your gear at optimal rank? just curious

Come on, guys! This isn't funny at all! Gladiator got downed way too much. And the damn autoblock doesn't always work. Before patch it was quite fun to play GLA, but now it doesn't work neither as an offender or as a tank. It's really weak! WTF!!

Btw, all my gear is quite to rank, I just finished a really easy behest (before I could finish in less than 4 minutes with speed bonus), now it almost took 10 minutes and I barely was alive at the end!!! Just when I was feeling confident as a tanker....now I'm a total wuss???!!

As I said: no fun at all!

jesus this is retarded. i cant even kill mobs my level without going to 40% hp

yes 10chars

Yeah....i'm lvling my glad now. I did some leves earlier, had to do them 2 stars lower than what i was doing before the patch...which made the mobs 1 lvl below me. This was after i died twice. Wtf. The mobs take forever to kill. And my stats are way better than what they were before but it sure doesn't show :x

Though i will admit, it was kind of broken before when my glad was invincible 90% of the time lol.

I think this is SEs version of making the game more fun/challenging? Enjoy.

Yep, I can't complete leves that had no problem with before.
