The DRK storyline

[Kyran-Varlsen]

I thought the PLD was an improvement because I could at least follow what was going on and it didn't drift off into... whatever the hell the Heavensward ones were suppose to be. It's true the PLD ones this time around was more of an extension of the GLA storyline but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

For me, I just think it a missed opportunity. The Sultansworn stuff was a bland mess. And it's not like I respect them considering they were sitting out the entire Palace Intrigue that booted us into Heavenswards Content. If they were doing their job, Teledji would have been cut into pieces long before Raubahn was ever interrupted from his dinner. While I enjoy being a Paladin and how well it ties (or did tie) into my being a White Mage, I can't help but feel the class itself was shown very little respect by the developers when it came time to tell us the class story.

I mean for heaven's sake, the Hildebrand Story was a better Sultansworn Story than the actual Paladin Quests themselves, any of them lvl 1-60. A string of crimes connects us to a leading member of the Order tied to an ancient Ul'dahn conspiracy to cover-up one of Eorzea's greatest war crimes. This sounds a hell-of-a-lot better than finding lost honor through a lost sword that lost power.

And the Ul Cup story meta was bull. We weren't fighting swordsmen, we were fighting spell warriors that were dropping magic aoe circles the way most people drop trash into a can. Then in the cut-scenes of course they are just clanging blades like normal. It was dumb and stupid from any perspective.

It's stuff like this that makes me want to just lvl up a DRK (haven't yet) but then I remember that I am currently working on the Paladin Anima Weapons and drat... then again, DRK already had a bunch of good looking weapons.

Better then pld storyline.

Anything is better than the PLD story, the freaking White Mage story is better than the Paladin story.
