thing is, PLD is wet noodle damage; the only thing its good for is tanking. so if it can't main tank CC or AV or whatever, how can you say its any good? might as well get a war who can either DD or sub tank in its placeLet me spell this out;
PLD is fine, its just a harder class to effectively use.
PLD is more versatile than WAR at tanking and probably is why people are QQing. They can't figure out how to use it. I will chalk this thread up to the inability to correctly use PLD.
WAR
has higher base HP
5 threat generation skills: (Voke, collusion, weaponskill, Flash, Dps)
3 Damage reduction skills: (Rampart Sentnel and foresight)
1 heal: Second Wind
Thats it... Thats all it can do.
PLD:
lower HP, but is more versatile:
6 Threat generation sills: (Provoke, Flat blade, war drum, Flash(Aoe) Spirits Within and Heals)
5 or (7) Damage reduction skills: Aegis Boon, Divine Veil, outmaneuver, rampart, sentinel, (Hallowed Ground 15 mins) (Cover on others)
2 Sources of heals: Cure (sacred prism for aoe) and Holy Succor (also threat generators)
1 Stun: Shield Bash
Cover...
Raise...
All for what? Lower base HP?
I LoL at you sir and bid you "good day"
Maybe you are just a bad PLD.
Edit: I am in NO way saying, PLD should be your main tank in CC or AV or whatever, I am saying that it IS ALREADY a very strong class, people just don't know how to play. It doesn't need a "buff" it needs you to "Learn2play" before suggesting revisions to already well balanced features.
