Simple Fix to PLD

[NoctisUmbra]

Adding individual resistances for each of the main elements sounds like a good idea.

Actually, come to think of it, maybe magic resistance materia should be buffed to be allowed in more slots and weigh heavier on tanking.

Yea, I mean you'd think a magically-enhanced profession like a Paladin would be more effective in defending against magical attacks than a purely physical profession like WAR. Alas, SE disappoints.

Its possible SE is saving a "magic tank" class for that.

The implication that the only reason people are unhappy with paladin is because they need to L2P is pretty laughable.

[Madruk]

As I've said before a million times, extra defense won't help the paladin because you can 1 heal pretty much everything anyway.

Until there's content that justifies the use of a "heavy" tank, they'll be a useless class.

PLD isn't even a heavy tank. It needs just as much heals as a WAR and can't even spare to repeatedly throw it's own Holy Succor around on others. Thus, it is undesirable as it isn't worth the massive lack in damage.

PLD isn't a heavy tank... its more like a war with hate issues, low HP and no damage output.

Direct damage mitigation doesn't really solve the issue. Take a WAR with 5k HP and a PLD with 4k HP and give the PLD a 20% reduction. They would both be loosing the same % of their health, so one would not be better that the other in terms of taking damage cause they would both be taking the "same" damage. Although I do wish that the PLD AF set had higher base def. than the Cobalt set. But what can we do?...

[Nanamix]

Yes please. I'm tired of swinging this damn Axe already.

square needs to fix PLD ASAP wont be good to have a shitty tank only job thats worthless in the re-launch in a few months, then that alone can fail the game.

paladin is tank only it seems they need to make it a damage absorbing brick wall that can make all the mobs want to attack.
