PLd Aura

[Pallaton]

Looking at various posts regarding party imbalances there seems to be a issue with the use of arc/thm/blm as the only DD in certain fights. One reason for this is due to the mobs using aoe too much on melee DDs. How about to give pld a aura trait which reduces the % of damage to those standing in close proximity based on the Pld's vit (but wouldnt affect any gla/pld in range).

No.

Just go play D2 if you really want aura's. This game is not D2.

Yeah right, so D2 is the only game with aura's?

So what was avatars favor in ffxi?

Rampart gives aoe def bonus already.

How about Circle abilities like holy circle to protect against undead?

I was thinking more down the lines of magic damage rather than def.

Maybe something like this: Job trait for level 45 pld: while cover has been activated, there is a 50% magic reduction to party members within a small radius.

They should add that as a bonus effect to divine veil assuming the radius remains limited to melee lol
