Disclaimer: This isn't a "PLD is gimp" thread.

Dear SE,
I've been both a PLD and WAR since 1.0.
Both jobs were fun to play back then, especially WAR in Steel Cyclone SB Parties. It was one of the best aspects of 1.0, that didn't carry over to 2.0. Rampage and Berserk stance were probably the best aspects of 1.0.

Moving along, this thread is about PLD and the aspects of it that are missing.
Traditionally, PLDs have always been noble and righteous Knights that wear heavy armor with high resilience and fortitude AS WELL
utilized white magic to their advantage.

In FF XIV - PLD is feels pretty heavy sided on the "Fortitude, Armor, Resilience" and pretty bare and lacking on the "Magic".

Gladiator, ironically, feels more like PLD than PLD does due to more cross class abilities and spells being available to it.

edit:
Additionally, having only 1 real combo available as PLD isn't (which happens to be our hate generating combo) doesn't make the melee aspects of this job feel too exciting either.

For a job that is, and always was, extremely popular and desired by the fan base, I feel that you haven't really given this job the attention and tweeking it deserves.

I'm not saying it is not efficient or gimp. Its fine. Its just booooring. Please look into adding Magic and some melee that makes this job more interesting.
