I really don't understand (mainly at the roeg in the thread no one else) how people are still confused about this job/class thing, read the reinhart jp to english thread and every interview ever done in western media with yoshi-p, its right there. Laid out. Not confusing really. Gla gets to 30 (example), gla gets item to turn into pld, and gets 4 new abilities while on PLD. As Blaise said there is no two. I'm so tired of people who don't bother reading anything and killing perfectly good spec threads.

Anyways @ op, my bf plays as GLA (GLD NOW? oh :/ idk) and he was worried about WAR being able to tank too much, like why take a PLD over a WAR, but I figured WAR won't be as good at tanking multiple mobs as PLD will. My bf I guess feels a little gimp when they let WAR do dmg and tank but pld will have to tank and not do dmg, but then I say I'm sure that heal ability in use adds a different level to PLD that makes him more useful than the DD counterparts (i'm a mage, i do hate dd's i'll admit it, stop running out of my buffs ; ; and making me drain my mp because YOU PULLED 8 mobs at once cause you wouldn't stop running, after I used my every 10 min mp get back ability and siphon mp like 8 times already lol)

In the long run we'll have see this in action, i'll invite wars and pld to my parties and end game, i'm not one of those elitists who likes to bring optimal build and act like i'm awesome for clearing it 20 times easymode.
