The Problem with Paladin

[Colvin]

Just thought I would jump in and add my 2 cents... admitting that no... I did not go read all 37 pages of this discussion (sorry). I agree that there is am MP issue but In specific, after playing PLD and GLD (WAR aside) I have to say that in 95% of the situations I prefer GLD over PLD.

While I have a larger issue with the direction the jobs are going in general, I have always liked GLD (I even liked it when I had to click a button to block.. made me feel like I was doing something active), but putting on the PLD hat kind of makes me feel like I cut my balls off. I guess this is how they designed it but I look at the PLD Job as more like something I equip on very rare occation to tank (maybe) a little better. Honestly I get more survivability out of my GLD than I do my PLD for various reasons. This seems like a failing to me. While I know there was apparently a lot of people clammering for more role definition, I always liked the diversability of the system when we can equip whatever subs we want.

There are several abilities that I use from other disciplines which I use for survivability with GLD that I can't use with PLD. Since this is how I have come to set up my survivability strategy, I dont ever play PLD when I solo. Again, this may be by design, but it is kind of a shame.

Stuff.

Did you read the new patch notes for Pld? They're fixing their toys, somewhat. ^^
