The Problem with Paladin

[elreed]

Paladin is a tank, Bard has mp songs if u check the jobs carefully you will see that what SE wants is not a PLD, WHM and rest BLM party, they want all classes to be needed, in the Ant princess fight (that i havent beat yet) you actually see this strategy shown more clearly.

You need a full tank (PLD) a trash tank (WAR) a healer (WHM) a buffer (BRD) and AoE damage dealers almost every other damage dealing job has AoE ws, so u can go with a 2nd BRD DRG's MNK's or an extra WAR or BLM's, thats the thing we were missing an especific role and right now you can only complete certain role and thats it, that makes things easier for every class/job now you wont get to be the class/job of the month like we were....

you missed the part that a GLA can do it easier, and in the future there will be more classes and jobs to choose from.

While your points are valid, requirements have simply shifted from:

Need: Tank, Healer, BLMs (or whatever you want)

to:

Need: Paladin, Healer, Bard, Warrior, etc.

The requirements are more spread out, but you still have specific classes/jobs you're looking to fill.

Also GLA > PLD is more my point, as the first reply mentions

Well i felt that PLD needs more AoE WS not too much maybe one WS and phalanx being AoE, but i feel pld is better holding hate and dmg than gld, u have a lot of stuff to resist dmg at ur disposal, the thing is to have more jobs involved and not the boring Ifrit setup, tank+conjurer x2 + Thm's
