Thread: Thoughts on 4.0 PLD abilities

Just found a video showing all the skills for PLD, not including their cross class skills.

Looks like they are some what trolling PLD. Sheltron and Cover still only defend against Physical attacks, despite the fact Shields can now block magical damage. I hope they change this to all damage types.

While the gauge builds good in Sword oath, you only gain gauge through shield block while in Shield Oath, which has me worried since Sheltron is now locked behind the gague. I hope they change it to at least get rid of the gauge cutting in half when switching between oaths if they do not remove the shield block requirement to build gauge in shield oath, that or just allow us to build gauge from just taking damage.

Requiescat looks to be a good addition, but the buff that procs at 80% or higher MP seems to only effect magic, which isn't a huge deal since 3 Holy Spirit is the best potency PLD can get from GCD's, minus perhaps the goring blade combo and it's full time up on a mob.

Feel free to post your own thoughts and opinions.
