Thread: How would they fix PLD 4.0?

An idea I posted some time ago is that PLD could use its mitigation tools on someone else, either by casting it directly on a target or combining them with Cover (That should work on magic damage too...). The idea would be that the OT PLD would "replace" the MT tank stance generally recommended for really big hits, allowing the MT to stay longer out of tank stance and thus increasing the overall raid DPS.

Or...Cover could transfer PLD's buffs to the covered target "Here, take this Fight or Flight for your opener, I need it less than you"
