A change like that to divine veil would almost certainly make PLD the new go-to tank and groups would suddenly say PLD or GTFO. I agree, PLD needs help but it needs balanced improvements so that there's not this constant BiS party comp that excludes classes (MNK, PLD, WHM). SE needs to rethink these roles to make them, not just viable but, desirable with any party comp of 2 tank, 2 heal, 2 mele, 2 ranged
oh no no I'm not saying it would happen. I was more saying any kind of defensive buffs to the job would just be lolled at if the meta doesn't change.

it would be the same as giving a whm even more powerfull heals in 4.0.... even something like aoe benediction... they'd just get lolled at cos still no dps......

my divine veil thing wasn't that well thought out to be honest it was just a quick example of how any kind of offensive utility would make pld more desirable. yet a hundred defensive buffs the job would still be a joke
