Have a little empathy for those whose jobs got crushed.

You know, I was lucky. My job has been good since I started playing. It never really dawned on me how those 3.0 AST/PLD felt, or the poor BRD's that saw their class identitiy destroyed in front of their eyes.

Now I get it. I understand. I beg those of you who now have a great place in the meta, have a touch of sympathy for those not so lucky when they complain on their respective forums.

Hyperbole aside, SE please fix the broken classes in 4.05 with some care and respect.

I used to play Sch as my healer while PLD is my main. I currently don't know what to do, my poor Scholar feels wrong, so I am trying to play White Mage for now, and just hope that my Scholar recovers enough that Eos can do more than casting Anti-Depress continuously... With that, and playing PLD since ARR beta 3, I can relate. The great Warrior re-write of 2.1 changed things for PLD in ways that become even more apparent in HW. It's been a tough furrow to plow, but when I look at the job guide notes for how Scholar was changed in 4.0, I truly struggle to see any positive changes at all.

2.x PLD: "HAHAHAHAHA WAR isn't viable! It's not even a real tank, it can't do as much damage as us or mitigate as well as us! How pathetic! We only have you along because two paladins would hinder the LB building!"

You must have missed the Warrior reboot that came with 2.1 which buffed a lot of their skills and handed Warrior almost the same mitigation toolkit that PLD had. PLD became the poster child for boring, simple 1-2-3 tanking, and not a lot else.
