Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[Lucke]

What about a potent "killer" effect to each? Maybe like PLD get Undead Killer which improves damage, defense, aggro, and cure damage vs undead, and WAR gets like, I dunno, Beast killer where their DEF, ATK, Aggro, and uhh....whatever else.

I'm not talking weaksauce like XI, but something that makes people think, "Gee, we're gonna be fighting Odin (he's death/undead right?) so we can go WAR or PLD." PLD might hold an edge over the WAR. Or you fight Chimera which is a beast, so WAR will have an easier time with Chimera.

That's not to say a PLD can't tank anything but Undead, or WAR can't tank anything but beasts. I dunno...

I'd like to see some killer materia or something but I dont think its a good idea to add it to classes in a strong suace way :P


Dragoons could often fear dragons lower then themselves and that was cool. But if you make it too powerful you'll get class exclusive content just like we are already talking about where PLD never gets invited to X and WAR never gets invited to Y, just like in hamlet where if you are anything but tank, healer, crafter, or gatherer you'd never get a place.


So.. adding a more potent killer effect to materia or to weapons that could be cool - but not to a class.
