PLD needs more overall mitigation.

The biggest problem is that MRD's HP far outperforms a PLD's defense. PLD should have MUCH higher damage mitigation on everything. If a move takes a Marauder's HP down to 30% of his max, then the same move should not take a PLD below 35% of his max. The entire point of PLDs is to have a solid tank who sacrifices damage output for damage mitigation. As it is now, Marauders will still outperform PLDs because there's no change in PLD's base mitigations so stuff like Glower will be much more dangerous to a PLD than it will be to a MRD. MRD's tank better than a class whose only purpose is to be a tank. MRD's extra damage output is just icing on the cake making PLD seem even less useful.

Get out of here with your logical logic!

Yes, exactly. Why just have cake when you can eat it too?

I agree with this since i don't main pld in this game but i do have it lvled does spirits within work like XI does same dmg to any mob no matter what if not they need to look into that.

Edit: or make Spirits with in like Atonement from xi damage it does is based on how much hate you have but cap the dmg @ like 700 dmg.
