What happens when.....

[Faeon]

Well Yoshi-P already stated in one of the interviews, that the PLD is not going to get reworked, like they done with the WAR. I suspect they will make small changes like a enmity increase on RoH stuff like that. The bottom line about PLD, is that they bring nothing that benefits the raid for current content. This has become a big thing now, because they have added another tanking class, that is more suited for A3S/A4S. The current progression system is kinda flawed, where certain JOBS are guaranteed a spot, no matter what.

I will always have WAR as a tank out of the other two, so if I had to pick between WAR & PLD or DRK & PLD, I would pick WAR & PLD or WAR & DRK. The new expansion brought out the flaws of certain jobs, where focus on a particular job due to it being the favourite or it fitted into the story better,made the design better.

PLD had been given lackluster set of tools, that would be used where exactly? and for what purpose? The current state is, that the the player base is moving to every job must be able to-do things equally well, as the next. So if my WAR is doing 1000 DPS, my PLD should do 1000 DPS too. This will be the case if they had to rework the PLD and make his DPS on par with WAR, in terms of AOE and Single Target. But then you going to get the complaint a PLD is not a DPS tank he should not being doing that amount of DPS threads.

I think fixing it is going to be hard work, due to the way the game design has gone, where certains jobs just got things that were not really thought of in a raid way, but only that it fits into the story and the ffxiv universe.
