Nice to see we're getting some adjustments.

Just to comment about the whole enhancing outmaneuver would help GLA as well - I see what you mean, but I guess the problem is that PLD would tend to rely on it more as we lose featherfoot and other abilities to both recover MP and mitigate damage. This loss of abilities just makes outmaneuver's uselessness even more apparent than it was on GLA.

While I'm sure ability changes will do a great deal to help, I can almost guarantee WAR will remain to be the best tank until we get some VIT, Defense, and Blocking changes. Even then, the first two would help WAR as well, so in reality the biggest change that needs to happen to make PLD even moderately useful, is a change in blocking calculations for higher level mobs (the only things where it actually matters).
