Paladin Updates

I haven't heard anything, but srsly! they can't leave dlvl as atrocious as it is forever, right? right???? q.q

I get the feeling the previous team made such a state of the code they couldn't remove it without the whole thing falling to pieces.

With any luck they have redone this for 2.0.

PLD can't compete with WAR damage and this patch is "all about the speed runs." Wait till Garuda, maybe then it won't matter.

I was under the impression that mistress generally dies about as soon as the fight starts with monk burns now, and you can add a second whm juts before pulling princess, we have jobs, we CAN swap anywhere... we don't. I've never needed healing on blm/thm in the ant fight provided your blms nuke together. In chimera? maybe, if you just have an offtiming pile of adds or miss one or two that were just outside range when your mages let off their aoe's.

I think the real question isn't can PLD replace WAR, but can PLD replace one of the WHMs. So instead of WAR+WHMx2, you would have PLD+WHM only.

Exactly!! Pretty sure thats the point of PLD, its a matter of figuring out how to play it right.

What they need to do for pld is make all it's combo's Start from the front. To this day i still do not understand why they have combo's that start from behind. If pld could use Riot Blade > rage of harlone + Phalnax > spirits within i would see no point in war tanking over pld.

[yialee]

yes pld is still sitting in my trash from the look of this.

One of the problems with PLD is the extra time they take to grab hate. I have a 50 PLD and 45 WAR and I can say the difference while leveling the two as pure Tanks is amazing.

Besides the obvious differences among the two tanks, WAR can grab hate a lot faster compared to a PLD. If a PLD hate plummets he will almost always struggle getting it back. A WAR just laughs as he will rarely lose it and if he does he just reminds the mob who's the boss in seconds.

I'm not saying a PLD can't get and hold a mob, but it require more effort than a WAR.

Wut Sent + Flash + Rampart grabs so much hate.

Wut Sent + Flash + Rampart grabs so much hate.

Antagonize, Sentinel, Provoke, Flash and using Vengeance before first swing on you grabs more.
