    People try to tweak around the edges on PLD specifically seeing if they can make it good by editing PLD’s rotation but miss the more general point that tanking in this game needs a ground up rework and in its current format you can’t really improve PLD (I’m lumping in how much healing tanks do as modern tank design)
    Wrong.

    This is the only game where tanking is fun. Most other games tanks can't do anything by themselves, able to survive a hit made by a dragon but barely able to kill a rat.

    I'm a main PLD and I love, I absolutely love, being a invincible slow DPS!

    If your idea of fun in a trinity based MMO is to be a one man army may I suggest a single player game

    Your immortality doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it can and does make other players experience worse

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Been there, done that. In CLL and DRN and Dalriada, with Lost Cure III and Lost Arise. It's fun for the first few runs, but after that... being an invincible god is just kinda "meh." Like, where's the challenge? Where's the test of my "skill"?

    Blood Rage cycling.

    @OP, yeah PLD plays extremely well. Just getting tired of the unlimited bladeworks shit. Rather we pulled back a bit to more swordsmanship and shield work.
