I completely agree with the whole being unimpressed with PLD, the abilities themselves seem pretty good, though there is room for improvement. However, other than the hands, I have put the rest of the AF gear in storage and consider it mostly garbage. Then there is the whole no way to get MPs back thing, and the lackluster stat changes. SE after class reforms I was ok with the changes made to Gladiator. It had finally got to a pretty good point. That being said, I was expecting PLD to be the awesome tank. But its just kinda meh.
