Trying to understand the complaints about DRK

[Chrono_Rising]

No. PLD isn't like DRK; more MP doesn't necessarily translate into more Holy Spirits.

Using sheltron enough can provide enough mp to get more Holy Spirits, whether or not that is useful depends on the GCD you end on. Sheltron on its own is neutral, the bonus mp, shield swipe procs, and GCD manipulation are other positives to this skill. There are times where the bonus mp from sheltron is actually useful, and sometimes its not, but when its not useful it isn't a negative.

Yes, I'm well aware; I said "necessarily" for a reason.

More mp on dark knight doesn't necessarily translate to more potency either. Maybe they are more alike than you think.

That's true, but that's not the point.
