All the “it would be broken for a tank to have raise comments” where have I heard those before? Oh right, it would be broken for a caster to have a cure spell! But then RDM came out and DIDN’T break the game, shocker.

Nothing wrong with a tank having a raise if it fits their kit and PLD being a tank with white magic fits it perfectly. Of course it would have to be balanced around PLD having it, hence why OP suggested making it like BLM’s flare have a minimum cost of let’s say 5k mp, but consumes all of your mp even if you have more than the required amount making it something that you won’t use regularly due to the massive dps hit, but could very well save a run.

Battle raise is something I’ve personally wanted for PLD since 2.0, it feels right to me that the person who is most likely to survive be able to get others back up. There have been plenty of times I’ve had to solo dungeons or trials as PLD where everyone else died and I’m thinking to myself “sure would be nice to get the others back into the fight” and I don’t doubt they’re all thinking it would be nice to be back in the fight too.
