Simple Fix to PLD

Also think need some kind of AoE damage that can challenge the damage and hate capabilities of War's AoE. I'm thinking maybe bring Circle Blade back.

As far as AoE hate generation goes, I feel that PLD's Flash, Rampart and War Drum do a sufficient job. Healing as well generates hate on every engaged mob, as opposed to damage. PLD, by design, is meant to hold hate not through damage but through abilities and healing. Therefore the problem isn't damage.

This is why I emphasize that the key point here is that using a PLD instead of a WAR should effectively free up a WHM slot, as PLD can act as a WHM. In order to accomplish this, it needs to be taking less damage. Until that scenario is fulfilled, PLD needs tweaking.
