war out tanking pld?

[SwordCoheir]

Its called diminishing returns...

Example:

600 Def 300VIT (take 400 Dmg)
650 Def 300VIT (take 300 Dmg)
700 Def 300VIT (take 250 Dmg)
750 Def 300VIT (take 200 Dmg)
800 Def 300VIT (take 175 Dmg)
850 Def 300VIT (take 160 Dmg)
900 Def 300VIT (take 150 Dmg)
950-1000 Def 300VIT (take 145 Dmg)

I don't know if you've ever hit that point but it starts really falling off after you get over that hill, with various factors like D-level affecting how much benefit or loss defense/VIT actually helps you. But in any case it doesn't dispute the fact WAR gets comparable defensive abilities and better DPS on top of PLD (even IF they are dropping attack in favor for defensive capabilities). The damage difference between the weapons alone separates the jobs considerably DPS wise, and that gap DOES NOT exist between WAR and PLD defensively.

The game is easy enough that you don't need to sacrifice anything, just go all out dps. Defensive stats might mean more when there is content hard enough to warrant it, but right now there isn't.

Also I'm not sure if the stat caps and diminishing returns are the same anymore since the patch. It's really not worth doing extensive parses until the devs settle down and figure out exactly what they want them to be.

bring abilities or trait that make PLD get reduced damage taken from all kind of attacks when engaged by single enemy....

They need to do 3 things for me to even touch my pld

1: War does not need gla sub, its just to good the job can do everything almost, giove it lnc sub or something. I think war can hold hate just fine w/o the gla tools. War should have been holding hate with dmg and some of its war skills.

2: Give gla an trait that reduces all dmg by 30% and fix fkin black rate s shield are just paper weights.

3: For the love of god fix the fucking Dlvl so higher lvl wont mobs make your equip seem like shit.
