    This worries me actually. As a PLD, does that mean that I lose Stoneskin and protect? To me, these skills are part of what makes PLD unique, as a tank that in the OT position (mostly) is able to assist healers during rough patches, as well as apply protect to recently raised party members, allowing healers to heal/raise without wasting time and MP. But of course, PLD is a tank, not a healer, so this uniqueness will likely get taken away. I have done this in raid environments and it has been extremely useful, please do not take these tools away (the other tanks have nothing useful to add to PLD other than foresight and mercy stroke).

    My entire mentality when playing PLD is different to playing WAR. For WAR, my primary objective is to beat on the boss, however as a PLD, I am very spatially aware, dealing less damage on the boss, but keeping an eye on other party members, being aware of when healers struggle, and do what I can to assist with the toolkit that I have, which is how PLD should be, and I don't want to be turned into a WAR that has smaller hits but bigger shields.
