PLD Raise Spell in 6.0?

[TouchandFeel]

The reason it is a bad idea is simple, it throws a huge wrench into the balancing of the tank jobs.

Providing one job in a role something of value, even if it's use is fairly niche, without providing the other jobs of that role a variant of it or something of equivalent value unique to those jobs ends up tipping the scales in favor of that one job.

Providing PLD a battle raise, even at a cost like lost dps, is still an extra tool in it's kit that the other tanks just don't get which can bring a lot of extra value to the job in certain instances, such as during prog or if things go bad in a fight.

Basically it boils down to the following...
- A battle raise on a tank is a niche ability that provides unique but difficult to define extra value to that job.
- Because the value of such an ability is difficult to define, it is incredibly difficult to balance again other such niche abilities that could be given to the other jobs.
- Therefore you end up with the situation that in order to properly maintain balance between the tank jobs, either all tanks need to receive a battle raise or none of them do.

I mean it could happen and could work out okay, but it would require each tank job to also get something unique and niche added to their kits, which I already pointed out would be a balancing nightmare in of itself, and the player community to not flip out and cry foul. Based on how the community tends to react to most things, that is not a likely outcome.
