The Problem with Paladin

[Phobos]

What?
No, seriously....what?!
I'm not saying make it impossible for paladins to manage MP. I'm just saying don't make it so they can manage MP alone. So are you saying if paladins were able to manage their MP alone, paladins would be better in all those situations? Wouldn't that mean a paladin with a bard is better in all those situations?

I get what you're saying here, I think it should be more like:
PLD can survive and recover low/moderate MP to be able to cure itself every now and then to supplement WHM cures.
vs
PLD with a BRD can survive and recover moderate/high MP to be able to cure itself and others somewhat frequently to supplement WHM cures and help generate enmity.


Not having a BRD should not cripple you, having a BRD should enhance your effectiveness.
