    After searching I can't find bis for pld.. But just looking at the threads it's seems like pld it's not good these days. Should I still change to other classes instead ?

    BiS for Raid PLD/anything? is some mixture of Esoteric Gear, Alex Normal, and Alex Savage(with Alex Savage being a possible direct upgrade to Alex Normal?)

    BiS is basically highest ilvl gear you can find, avoiding parry and more acc/VIT than you need if possible. PLD is lacking a bit in offense right now compared to DRK, but still has the better overall mitigation between the two in most scenarios. WAR is pretty much guaranteed to be in the party with you.

    Upgraded Esoteric gear is on par with Savage Alexander gear, but requires drops from it to upgrade. So for most people Esoteric gear is the only option.

    Pre-raid BiS and Progression BiS gear is what matters most, when you have Ultimate BiS set it means all content is on farm and at that point it really doesnt matter anymore. Having a ultimate BiS is only usefull when next set of raid gets relased.

    Just wanted to point this out as so many are obsessed about having a BiS set nowdays.

    There is pld who have finish the raid i think,
    it's not because you can have more dps on the others tanks, you can't finish them.
    So advoid parry if you can, go vit/force/acc/deter/crit the more you can and you got your pre-bis to finish the raid.
    the thing you say is the same as raiding only with summoner because i got some smn dps more than others dps.
    So i choose to raid with two war 3 smn/1 bard /machinist (or even kill it for a other smn) and 1 whm and 1 sch.
    because war can dps more than pld, because smn dps more than others dps.
    You are all ridiculous about the tank class
    You don't need to play only all dps OP class in the games, or we would only play war and smn... You just need a group to work on mechanics and then push the dps to get enough to finish it.

    BiS PLD is ditch any parry you can get unless it's upgraded eso tank belt. Have acc at bare minimum cap to be able to hit bosses from front. After those two are accomplished go det/crit while still meeting acc cap. Have enough HP to survive tank busters on A4 (17800ish) then go pure STR accessories once that is met.
