I had quite the night last night. I was playing healer cause I felt like healing. 2 of the 3 runs were just absolute trash.
1. Dead Ends - Tank doesn't know what role abilities are. No rampart, no Arms Length...nothing. He is wall to wall and I'm struggling to keep him alive. Well he goes down and the Dancer gets the aggro...and they run ALLLLLL the way back to the start. I can't get a single heal on them cause I was blowing through my oGCDs to try and fail to keep the tank alive. I should not blow through 6 aetherflow abilities on a single pull. I'm even doing Emergency Tactics + Adloquium + Lustrate combo which is damn near a Benediction and the second I cast that all those heals are just ate through before I can cast my next spell. So we wipe from all of that...and wipe at the 1st boss but I'll admit that was 100% my fault cause I forgot that you have to esuna the debuff or it kills you outright.
So after that and another tank refusing to use defensives I was like "Look at me...I'm the tank now" and I switched to PLD for the rest of the night.
I leveled PLD passively just using leveling/MSQ roulettes so I never go to see it in action at level 90 and I gotta say....PLD feels REAL good at 90. I may put away my Unga Bunga Axe for the sword and shield because even though WARs have their "once in 25 seconds I can Benediction myself"...PLDS just don't take damage at all and also have great regen abilities they can put on themselves or other people...Clemency isn't even needed anymore unless Healer bites it early.
