Can't speak for feast, but imo FL is ok.
All the aoe can be a better choice in some circumstances (FL), but I can't imagine the aoes being very useful in feast.

Haven't tried PAL yed but I've seen some pretty tanky PALs. Need to check out dat shiet.

Honestly, with all these major changes at this frequency, it makes me lose interest. Why bother learning more than 1, or a few, jobs if they constantly change things. It's not fun. I know PvE (aka the "real" game, not mini-game PvP) have changed some as well, but not nearly to the extent PvP has. Imagine if they redesigned all jobs for PvE at this rate. The rage would be real. Just shows how little focus PvP really has.
