PLD Raise while in combat please!

See, I disagree with that statement. Because this is not suggesting for any sort of increase in a PLD's DPS, which is what's crippling them at end game hardcore content. Instead, what this would hopefully do is bring balance to the 3 tanks again, so that now, there is a value to a PLD being brought to save healer's from having to do a res for a downed DPS. You'd have to choose between more DPS from a tank to meet the dps checks, or if you'd rather have a safety net.

That wouldn't balance out jack. All it would do give PLD a little more raid utility that's niche at best and borderline useless at worst. With no Swiftcast available, you have to animation lock yourself for over 8 seconds to cast Raise. If both healers are down, 8 seconds is a freakin eternity for the boss to chew up the MT, spit him out, and start hunting for DPS.

Since I pretty much always MT, I was looking from this point of view, to be used under scarce circumstances, like popping the Hallowed Ground Skill, then no matter how long your raise, you wouldn't be chewed up.. and I can see myself raising an Healer, and him to use the LB3 to save the long fight..

^ an example only ^o^

If they can give us Swiftcast then by all means! hehehe
