How would they fix PLD 4.0?

[shao32]

The idea is not to push WAR away, but offering a strategic use of PLD as an OT. A PLD OT could cast Clemency on a WAR MT without fearing interruption, allowing the WAR to skip even more Defiance uptime.

i dont mean push WAR away (even if they deserve it), all tanks deserve being played, just point that upgrade in the current meta and the current status of healers dont go to solve nothing saddly, players want DPS, just that dps dps and more dps, adding more mitigation tools to paladin for others like that yeah can be fit by how paladin is and all that stuff, im agreed, but ppl go to still choosing the best comb for more dps for know, a extra shield dont go to make ppl sacrifice DPS when the actual healers can shield you and top you in seconds whitout any effort.

but lets say its happen what you say, PLD OT become desirable thanks to that clemency, this only go to change PLD place with the DRK, WAR is better MT by mitigation and utility, and DRK OT sucks by now changing PLD for DRK in this threat, i feel they need to focus PLD with DRK in the MT role, making both universal utility (dps) equal and keep they own str and weaknes improving the MT status with more rewarding mechanics, this of course if we get another tank how by desing shine more in the OT spot like WAR and have a balance of 2 vs 2.

i dont belive giving such mechanic is good for a 8 man party, actual healers are doing nothing excep DPS most of the time, adding that just go to make players go 2 tanks 5 dps 1 healer, like i say that skill effect can only work in a scenario where you dont want to break the number of role members in a party and the overall healer vs bosses status is change making that "extra" heal shield worthy and helpfull.
