PLD is a very boring class compared to WAR.

Well it's very obvious that the design concept for the PLD includes "simplicity", which many would say is just the "glass is half full" view.

The problem with making the PLD more "engaging" and more "complex" is that it takes a very important variety out of the tanking role---the simple and straight-forward variety. Like how the BLM is the simple and straight-forward variety of ranged DPS, PLD is the same for tanking. And there's nothing wrong with it.

If you want engaging, satisfying tanking play, pick the Warrior. If you want straight-forward, robust tanking play, pick the PLD. That's just how the two jobs are designed.

Please always remember, PLD is not a boring class. It is just that YOU find it boring because it doesn't fit the play style that you enjoy.

Whoa, whoa... Black Mage, simple? I've tried Thaumaturge. The juggling needed to keep your DPS up is a bit staggering...

I'd say Archer is the most Bread and Butter. Shoot things while moving and use offensive cooldowns to make your pew-pews stronger.

Guess it's probably why I like PLD and BRD......

Considering I can just flip what's subjective and objective about the point you're trying to make to make it serve my own purposes, kinda defeats the purpose of presenting them as such.
