Paladin adjustments = PALLY BUFFS!

[AlexiIvaniskavich]

Warriors are going to be nerfed, I'm guessing. Their axes will be replaced with pillows, and Fel Cleave will be replaced with Fel Cuddle.

And then there will be me, buying my co-tank a fantasia and forcing him to re-roll as a lala.....


I still expect PLD to finish 3rd while in tank stance, just not so horrifically far behind.

I'd guess DRK may see a change to Living Dead to give it greater synergy with the increased HP pools the Vit-Str conversion is going to give them. Might also see a buff to non-DA C&S, or some way to manage MP while stuck in those phases of combat where you can't attack anything (without dropping Darkside).

Fell Cleave -> Fell Cuddle...

Would be nice to not have to pay a now-4k higher amount of healing to take Doom off for what may about to preventing only 2k overkill. Personally, I'd rather they're just allowed to have negative HP, and need only be healed back to a positive value, but if they were to take more than max health damage during that time that would be a mitigation loss, and coding problems would probably prevent that anyways... Never fun having the debuff component of something increased just because your stats improved.

Honestly hope WAR's aren't nerfed much, if at all. I'd be cool with seeing Fell Cleave drop from 500 to 440-460 and Decimate from 280 to 250-260, but only if Defiance (and Convalesce and Mantra) is going to be allowed to affect healing abilities (WAR-specific self-heals scaled to have similar values), etc. Generally, I'd just like to see the other tanks moved closer to WAR in terms of synergy and usability improvements, rather than WAR being nerfed.

Never went away from my PLD, and i gotta admit. Call me damn hyped.

I wonder what they'll do to DRK and WAR? It says PLD adjustments will be big but it specifically says all tanks here, I wonder what changes we'll see?

Paladins getting buffed? In MY mmo?
Hopefully this'll encourage more people to play PLD, pretty excited to see what they'll fix.

uhm. from recent consensus pld is still the most played tank and i'm sure some of drk and war player now are former pld mains
so i don't think they need more

Honest I see more WAR's and DRK's around than plds these days, I didn't know they were the most populated
Maybe they're all hiding from me lol

The census only shows what jobs are leveled, not "played".
Those WAR and DRK probably have a PLD hidden behind them, gathering dust.

On Malboro, we're full of experienced WARs and DRKs while most newer players are on PLD.

I actually received a hug at the start of one of my roulette's last night because I was the first Pld the healer had seen in a long time. Her exact words were: "Oh, a PLD! I love you guys! Everyone plays War or Drk now, but Pld is still my favorite." Made me feel all warm and fuzzy lol. We had a nice chat about how it was sad that no one played Pld anymore.

I have to admit that I'm the same way. I main Pld, and I still use it on my roulette's, but I've been using my Drk a lot more recently, especially for Raids and Trials. The Tp issue by itself is all the reason I need to Q as a Drk instead of Pld.
