PLD Raise Spell in 6.0?

[Brightshadow]

How would you guys feel if Paladins get a combat raise spell in 6.0?

I honestly would love it, sure they might have the lowest DPS of all the tanks but Paladin is already considered one of the best support tanks and has alot of utility compared to the other tanks. Plus damage shouldn't be the main focus of all the tanks.

Spell idea:

Inspirit
Level: 85
Description: Resurrects target to a weakened state. Uses all remaining MP when cast.
Cast Time: 8s
Additional Effect: If used while you are under the effect of Divine Veil it makes the raise instant cast but it consumes Divine Seal.

Why does it consume all your MP? I wanted to make it a great emergency button but with a drawback since it's a powerful utility for progression. Think of it like Flare you can use it at almost any percentage of MP so you can heal yourself up before actually using it to raise the healer or RDM/SMN. And you can use the divine seal as a quickcast.

Uh, no. That is all.

Paladin's actually have the best DPS out of all the tanks I believe with the best Immunity and etc. Though I miss being able to revive people being a Paladin back when it was fun in POTD, it should remain a healer/ caster only ability

[Blackheart]

it would be neat sure, but overall paladin doesn't need a revive ability, i'd much rather SE expand on what they already have going for it.

Uh, no. That is all.

Why not? what specifically do you want from paladins in 6.0?

The tank that has the best DPS based on reports is Gunbreaker, and honestly to me it would make more sense for Warrior and Dark Knights to do more damage than Paladins because they use heavy set weapons and Warriors are basically a berserker.

It doesn't need a revive spell that is true, but historically in the series they have had a raise spell and paladin is already the tank with the most utility and tools.

While I would love a raise, the effect would be both a little too strong, and also a little bit boring. PLD isn't supposed to raise people, they are supposed to protect people from dying, and I much prefer the idea of expanding on cover as an ability.

No idea as I dont play PLD as long as I don't want to fall asleep mid-fight but PLD is already the strongest tank in terms of group support by far and has the strongest invuln of all classes. Pair that with its currently pretty high damage and a raise and you'll see a double PLD meta really quick. So, as I stated before, no. That is all.

This is just my opinion, but when I think of a Paladin in any game, I always think about healing magic being supplementary to their sword and shield, maybe they have a heal and a regen at most, a raise just seems like a little much. We don't want PLDs to have too many healing spells or else it might as well be a discount healer, Clemency is already stupid strong, I've done synced dungeon bosses with nothing but Clemency and a RDM casting verCure, a raise on top of that sounds like too much for a tank.

Not to mention that PLD has Clemency on top of Intervention, Cover, and Divine Veil, this all comes with good damage as well, so is a raise really necessary?

PLD used to have the actual spell Raise available as a cross-class ability under the old system up til Stormblood was released (assuming you unlocked CNJ and levelled it), alas not many players bothered equipping it due to not being able to cast it during battle (due to CNJ/WHM having a trait that allowed them to do so). I still did though as it did come in handy from time to time (such as coming across a low level player KO'd in a FATE or during a levequest, and thus also helpful for working on the 'Kindness of Strangers' achievements). Having a PLD-specific raise spell would be nice to have, but I doubt it will be added.
