1.22 - 1.22a - 1.22b changes

Why is it that everyone here can see where Gla/Pld falls short in comparison to War except for you Aceofspades? There wasn't even a sentence or phrase where I said Pld could not do anything right...War although like everyone else sees....does it better in nearly every respect. The only elitist here is you. Every single thread you have something "butt hurt" as you call it to say about how lame everyone else is, where as everyone else here has something to contribute while still being able to acknowledge points of interest in a calm and objective manner. As far as striking a nerve I would have to say your wrong, although if hitting a nerve means getting tired of you being an arrogant, self righteous, condescending, blatantly narrow minded toad to others and their thoughts on a subject then yea I guess you did.*/clap* You clearly never understood what I was getting at

If they made corresponding jobs get a amplified boost from certain attributes I think it would help a lot with job class uniqueness. for Example Pd/Gla would get a boost from how potent VIT would affect def, hp pool, dmg received from ws's. All hypothetical, but I think something like that would help a fair bit given that other classes got a unique trait boost that was relevant to the class.

The fact that Pld does have to choose between attributes is where pld falls greatly short like you said Raymeo. Why pick a tank that can only do one of these things well, when a different class can do it equally as well and still offer something more to the table. Why pick apples or oranges when I can have a fruit salad.

Overall, with some luck 1.22b will help balance things out between all the classes. But until then hopefully the Devs pick up on at least one or few of these ideas they could roll with for Gla/Pld in the future to help balance things out.

edit added:
I do agree with you Tango, I'm hoping with the next patch that like you say and as Devs have hinted at that they do adjust the overall tanking performance of Pld and War. But if it isn't anything relatively drastic/moderate I still feel people will still prefer War for tanking which would be disappointing.

I have a niggling doubt that the dev team wont do enough to put PLD back on the "preferred tank list". The margin between PLD and WAR is so great that only a major edit will do anything remotely close enough, which the dev team may not do for fear of "imbalancing"?
