Is it pointless to lvl Paladin?

[Februs]

shh, Don't tell anyone but PLD is actually RDM in disguise

So that's why the Dev team refuses to do anything to fix Pld... they're waiting for next expansion so they can just roll out a re-brand of the job as Red Mage. It all makes sense now...

Seriously though, adjusting the current meta in the future is fine (which we are already seeing with fights like Thor Ex), but unless they address Pld's deficiencies as a job they will always fall back into these problems. Pld is a great job, but SE needs to commit the same amount of polish to it that they gave to War and Drk.
