in light of that, mp regen , altho very minimal , dose exist within the PLD realm. cool, kinda changes things, but not by much, looks like those High block shields may have just become more valuable then.

My only issue with that is that how quickly you can get Aegis Boon off depends on how quickly the enemy does a physical attack and you block it. On most monsters this isn't an issue, however on something like Ifrit where he can go at least 30 seconds without doing his physical attack, Aegis Boon or Sentinel could wear off before you get that block in. Otherwise it's not a bad way to go about it, though I'd leave Bloodbath out unless you need the HP.

Sorry, didn't see you reply to me. Wasn't ignroing you.

You're right across the entire post. That's the drawback to Aegis Boon, and it's honestly not a bad one considering the block is 100%. You're also right with Bloodbath, but in most cases, I usually take damage from some sort of spell or TP move after Aegis Boon cures me.

You also want to be sure Phalanx connected first before using Bloodbath.

Give us mp regen utilities, access to blessed mind and shroud of the saints maybe with a trait that it increases enmity instead of takes away. And change our primary dd stat to VIT or DEX and there we go.

Gonna be too good if they do this for all jobs but I kind of wanted to see some abilities/actions from Gladiator be upgraded when using the Job.

Like
Flash while on PLD increases more enmity than when on GLA
Outmaneuver while on PLD restores more MP than when on GLA
Sentinel while on PLD grants AOE effect to nearby players (target must be within 8 yalms)

ahhh ha, i mis read, here i thought it blocked all damage , it simply blocks, wich is still awsome, soo long as you have a shield with a high block number on it, not block rate lols

@Ace: If everything is so easy in FFXIV and PLD can do all of it, why you got nothing done except Ifrit? You are the last person here that should talk about difficulty and what PLD can achieve in current content...cause you haven't done it, you got no clue and BTW I'm repeating myself over and over...just cause you can hold hate against shitty crap DDs doesn't state the fact that PLD can hold hate efficiently...cause against good DDs they hold hate like crap.

However there's something you should consider. Enmity management is a group effort. People who shouldn't have hate should focus on keeping it down and people who should have hate should focus on keeping it up. If just one person is trying then issues will arise. It is not only the Tank's problem, it is the party's problem.

Of course I expect all the DDs to do their best possible to keep their hate as low as possible. But if they actually need to stop dmging/WSing, it's improvement on the tanks end that needs to happen. And on PLD they have to stop DMGing/WSing cause the PLD can't generate more hate then a MNK will get from going all out.

@Ace: I'd rather see the DMG done stats on that fight, then DMG taken...like I said, if you can hold hate against crappy Crap McCrapperson DDs, this doesn't mean that holding hate on PLD is all right...

[Aceofspades]

oh and didnt say dont use rampart just said used in that combo is kinda pointless as it will not gen hate if your party isnt within range, wich is usually isnt.
