    Goodbye PLD

    PLD has always been my job in this game. I love tanking, I love being challenged by trying to keep hate over DD.

    Last night I did an Ifrit, and since GLA/PLD is my only 50 job right now, I went that. Long story short, I challenged one of the members to go WAR so I can see if I can keep hate better.

    It wasn't even a fair fight it seemed. The WAR kept most of the hate.

    There were times when I took hate back, but I shortly lost it to the WAR again. It went to the point that when I died (which I'm pretty sure it was on purpose at this point) I wasn't raised cause the WAR did a better job at tanking.

    SE, fucking fix this job. I had the patience for you to fix PLD on FFXI, but not this time. In FFXI at least there were some attempts to make PLD the best tank before you added auto refresh and actual good blocking and stuff. For one thing, PLD HAD MORE HP THAN NIN.

    Give PLDs more hate generating abilities, or increase the hate we generate with our current abilities. Cause it sure as hell aint enough right now to compete with WAR and their DD hate capabilities.

    Bye guys, I'm gonna go hang out on my 28 MRD leveling that up.

    WAR definitely has better hate generation, but that is far from being the only thing that matters, or even the main problem with PLD not being preferred to tank.

    well War has sentinel like Pld does which like you know generates enmity from all abilities. well SE raging boner for war gave war another ability just like Sentinel so they can double their hate in like 5 seconds where pld cant.

    Sentinel doesn't increase enmity from all abilities. In fact, on WAR it seems to only effect damage enmity.
