Thread: 3.1 PLD changes look good

No need for concern esteemed Warriors and Dark Knights, I don't think PLD having an AoE move would not threaten or alter just about anything. Especially for WAR. It's not just DRK/WAR AoE moves, it's the synergy of many CDs and other abilities they have that really bring-it combined with their AOE in mob packs. PLD having 1 AOE hardly bridges the gap.

I'm still holding on to hope that SE will someday adjust Royal Authority into an AOE like Flare. Dealing 340 potency (or 100 or w/e it is when non-combo'd) to the selected target, and diminishing potency to other mobs near the PLD's hitbox. PLD rotation wouldn't really change other than multi-target. I'd rather not see a damage addition to Flash. So tired of the Flash Spammage, having Flash deal damage just makes the spam more likely. RA is the lvl60 action like CoS is PLD's lvl50. It'd be like: here's your AOE reward for all your suffrage through 1-59. Would be nice for them to finally throw a rug over that carpet stain in the PLD toolkit.

Frankly though with this 3.1 Swipe change, I don't think PLD's DPS kit is something SE even bothers looking at unless we the community complain loudly and coherently (this Swipe adjustment could have been something they did y'know.. years ago.. low lvl PLD has no tank stance, difficult\ holding hate etc etc).
