Simple Fix to PLD

[Heaven]

How about giving PLD a series of Barrier Spells?


Barrier: Provides damage reduction againts physical attacks. (PLD lvl 50)

MBarrier: Provides damages reduction againts magical attacks. (PLD lvl 65)

Wall: Provides damage reduction againts all attacks. (PLD level 90)


Just an idea, might be more fun then having a trait.

IF they did something like this, it would probably only increase magical defense. We already have Rampart which increases physical defense. If anything, a trait that augments Rampart to include magical damage would be more fitting.

Also, I don't know where people are getting this "Enmity is the problem!" crap. It might not be the same as WAR, but PLD will still get the job done.

I do agree with the OP. A higher damage reduction either through traits or skills. Even fixing how DEF works and adding MDEF to Rampart for PLD only is a good start.

It's not THE problem but it is A problem when it is compared to a WAR. PLD requires so much more to keep hate unlike a WAR that can just slap the mob around and says "Who's your daddy!" every 15 seconds.

Looking at your sig it lets me know you do see the effort needed to play the job lmao.

The job can do well without being as simple as a WAR, which is why I also agree with the OP.
