What GLD/PLD lacks

[LongNu]

Pally > MRD all day errr'day

I agree. A well played Pally is more beneficial to a team than a MRD. Problem is MRD is easy and FOTM, so not many capable PLDs float around since the effort required to master them is greater.

You will pull your hairs less often playing a MRD than a PLD. At least if your other 3 teammates are total shit house you can still pull a win, PLD can't do that. However, against coordinated team aka BLM + PLD. Killing stuff is superbly easy, BLM Sleeps goes to casting PLD sits to wait for a Purify.
