Pld buff or War nerf in 1.22?

[Aceofspades]

A good example of a great use of WAR as main dps is moogle. The LS did a run 5 WAR 2 healer and 1 bard, easiest we have ever done moogle. HOWEVER I was the main tank , kiting Moogle king, and I know for a FACT , if I had been on my PLD I would not have needed ANY WHM support at all, but because the party itself needs both healers at times you still cant afford to lose the second whm soo the only way to fit in the PLD and lose about half the DPS from the one WAR (myself) in order to make the last half, the hardest half, much easier, is to squeeze more DPS out of the WAR, add that to the DEF down combo from PLD and Its a realy fast moogle fight. Reason why we went with WAR as main dps should be obvious. Although it dose not do as high as BRD or BLM , it has no issues with MP obviiously, very little issues with TP and positioning for combos and most importantly it has much higher survivability then any of the other DPS jobs.

Greetings,

Yoshida posted a bit about the plans to class/job adjustments that are currently planned to take place in patch 1.22b, and I wanted to share them with you here.

Hello! Producer/Director Yoshida here.

Even though we just released patch 1.22, I’d like to talk a bit about the plans for job/class balance adjustments that are to take place in patch 1.22b. With multiple jobs/classes and well as monsters and battle content in mind, some effects will need to be, as they say, "nerfed." I apologize.

Warrior and Marauder Adjustments
Our stance is to refrain from nerfing things as much as possible and we have performed and looked into adjustments up till now, but we have boosted warrior’s specs to a very high level. They’re at the point where they have stable enmity, high-damaging AoE attacks, and high defense, which is calling for a slight nerf. We apologize for this.

We will be making adjustments to Steel Cyclone, whose stats are currently too high.
Also, we will be enhancing the effect of Berserk and the attack power of Whirlwind in exchange for adjustments to the effect of Collusion.

Paladin and Gladiator
First, in order to raise the amount of damage they can output, we will be enhancing Goring Blade, Riot Blade, and Rage of Halone. Also, we will be getting rid of the max HP reduction when changing from gladiator to paladin and as a result will be making adjustments to increase their max HP. Additionally, we will be enhancing shield blocks. Besides these, if determined necessary for adjusting, there is the possibility that we adjust stats as well as enmity.

Dragoon and Lancer
We are currently testing adjustments for dragoon and lancer so that they are able to elicit higher performance than now for long primal battles, raid bosses, and other battles. Basically we will be increasing the amount of damage done for critical hits and making adjustments so that the job becomes closer to our planned image of the job.

*For specific adjustment information, once adjustments are finalized, we will be announcing the full details before the patch.

MAX HP INCREASE /breakdance

Also, I'm interested to see how the weaponskills will be adjusted.

Dragoon changes are a nice touch.

It's unfortunate none of this made it in time for Garuda.

Thanks Bay i hope the dmg reduction from shield is not a lousy 5% anymore if it was even that lol.

Edit: I hope for the love of god they remove the back position needed for the riot blade combo....

[Rydin]

soo 50% of the posts are pure idiocracy from refuseing to learn or know anything about what they are saying and the other 50% is from pure biast

Not sure if troll....

Besides these, if determined necessary for adjusting, there is the possibility that we adjust stats as well as enmity.

Good, because actually getting an enemy to pay attention to me has been the biggest challenge as a PLD.

She should still be around after the patches -_-

[Aceofspades]

Oh but you did.

EDIT:

Also, I see you still have yet to successfully complete Miser or Chimera.

its on my list of things to do, I run a " leave no man behind' LS dont always have time to spend hours on one dungeon , espesscially when I have members who still need some Ifrits weapons and such.
