PLD dps needs to be buffed, current dps a joke

[Valkyrie-Amber]

fun fact all tanks parry like 10% more than plds yes we have our shield that probably makes up for that and maybe our total migration is 5-10% at best better to dark and war due to block is better than parry. but does our 3-10% at best better migration make up for darks min 8-16% more dps? small numbers but dps checks every lil bit helps.

While numbers may be close and all everything block parry wise is rng sometimes you may block/parry a tone other times it wont proc for ages. So the fact your crying over that and counting it as our migration is kind of silly block got majorly nerfed.

I love how people don't realize all classes are like 1-2-3 cause you can set the keys like that customizing hud layouts unless you play a monk then you need a tone of positionals but all tanks don't rely on positionals so your argument there is invalid.

@wise, Paladin in FFXI got Reprisal. Damage reflect.

Won't do anything for OT dps but I suggested it often, only for it to be ignored because its useless while offtanking.

PLD DPS fix. Be aggressive and stance dance main while main tanking and wear STR gear.

[Valkyrie-Amber]

lol forget stance dancing at all pld sword oath 100% main tank and full str gear still makes pld weakest tank class by a lot at least 150 dps to dark alone if darks only doing say 80% efficiency to pld 100%

Ugh... Mate, you're annoying. Go back to DRG if you wanna do more DPS than DRK.

Oh wow this one is still going huh? Well keep her going! I bet my assistant manager at work ( plays wow but finds this amusing) that this will reach 100 pages!!!

Come on! I have £5 riding on this!

Yep, I'm also doing this dude a favore. keep the giggles coming and all.

OK so your basing your calculations raid wise on an inanimate object that does no mechanic and has no phase changes. Honestly that 1050+ WAR isn't going to be 1050+ in a raid environment having to throw up defiance, move for mechanics loose DPS on phase changes where bosses can't be attacked. PLD can still pull numbers.

There have been groups who have cleared content with PLD and WAR tank combo also so you can't say "no one uses PLDs"

It's okay, the OP has no idea how the tank classes work. I don't even think those numbers were his. It's just some DRG main who's not impressed with his SwO DPS on a dummy. Someone who's playing the wrong class and asking for it to be the way "they" want it to be.

Correct. The WAR should now be pulling at least 1100+ with raid buffs. ;D

[Kaisinel]

Hioki you just made me lol, but seriously they could give the OP a 3000 potency attack every 10 seconds and that still probably won't be good enough from what I read during 60 pages of ranting.

To be fair, PLD has a lot of issues, DPS is like #3 of a ten point list.

If switching jobs without gear penalty was easier I'm not certain this thread would be as lengthy as it. That's really my #1 issue. The armory system is terrible.
