Thread: How would they fix PLD 4.0?

I've been wondering this for a while, given the fact that we've already got plenty of skill bloat on our hotbars as is unless they're going to replace or get rid of some. The only thing this expansion has brought is nothing but trouble for PLD in favor of the DPS Meta. Do you think that they're going to address it and fix it to where it becomes survival again or will it be another "Gotta DPS Fast" cluster**** where DRK/WAR reign supreme?

One of the things they should help give PLD is more enmity generation in the form of AoE. It's only AoE are Circle of Scorn and Flash. The only two AoEs that draw enmity.

WAR has Overpower, and it already draws Enmity from its damage output and the multiplier. DRK has the highest enmity generation in the game with Unleash and Abyssal Drain, whereas Paladin literally has to be played skillfully or be cooperative with their team to manage.

PLD's only mitigation is Strength Down on the boss, and that only mitigates physical fights really. Other than that you have utilities that are actually not strong compared to the others which flat out mitigate damage since Divine Veil just provides a shield that healer utility already brings. It's nice, but it's hard enough as is for PLD to keep up. Eventually they'll die out like WHM and MNK are.

The elephant in the room is ALWAYS the TP. Ever since they put their offensive GCD move on oGCD, PLD's had extreme TP problems that were just band-aided by TP reduction; this didn't just benefit PLD, but benefited DRK as well, making it more prominent since DRK's Blood Weapon reduces TP cost temporarily. WAR has infinite TP if they're off-tank, since they'll just Deliverance and have Equilibrium to keep them up and have infinite TP.

So, any ideas?
