Now I feel more comfortable thinking of Pld in terms of a job. Pair a PLD with a bard, MP is taken care off. Run in to sing after the BIG ws, and while you're in melee range you can even have the PLD use cover on the little singy person! Dun worry squishy person, i love your singing voice so much that i'll cover you while you sing! (that should help out some mnks too in case they are havin a bad sucker punch day)
