The Problem with Paladin

[Andrien]

JOBS were meant for PARTY PLAY...With a BARD in party = No MP issues.

That is all.

Replace the PLD with a GLA, and you wont need a Bard for MP refresh.

Anyone like PLD? CAUSE I REALLY DO AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING NEEDS TO CHANGE ABOUT THE JOB!

By the way...Battle classes/jobs are still in the tweak...

Only Mage classes have been confirmed to be in their semi-final state as they will be in 2.0. By the way I love how mage classes play now. I love how moving causes spell cancellation. It's so much FUN NOW!

...and that is all I had to say.

You didn't read much of the thread have you? You should try it out next time before you post a tantrum.

The majority of this discussion is about anything a PLD can do a GLA can do better. There is not much a PLD can do to outshine a GLA or a WAR when it comes to tanking which it is its role.

Warrior seem like a better tank then PLD -.- which is pretty sad when PLD should out do the warrior in tanking. Pretty much warrior out does PLD and does awesome DMG.

These two posts pretty much sum up the thread, for the last few people that seem to ignore it. Yes, PLD uses MP better etc. One person I saw complain about casting interrupts, I have not run into such an issue. The real issue is as these two mention (and is twofold).

Regardless of if you have a bard or not (which a lot of replies suggested), GLA has better abilities for tanking. PLD offers hardly anything as the only ability that is not situational or doesn't have a huge recast time is Holy Succor, which while some suggest can be used to generate extra enmity, GLA can still use MP with cure, it's just a less potent spell. People saying they're having an easier time on PLD, I would say it's likely a placebo effect from being in a party with a WHM and a BRD, and to test that you could try the fight on GLA and PLD with the same gear to see for yourself. Yes, the new abilities are neat, but on GLA I will only miss Holy Succor and Spirits Within - both of which cannot really be used too frequently.

The second problem, as the second post I am quoting brings up and the first post mentions, is that WAR is in fact better than both PLD and GLA at tanking regardless. I do not want WAR nerfed or anything, I actually haven't seen anyone request that at all. It is a bit odd though that one of the DD's is better at keeping hate and taking damage because of their HP boost rather than loss, equally high defense, and a front weaponskil combo with actual useful combo bonuses to survival and enmity.
