But DD PLD no thanks

PLD are stalwarts of the defense ONLY jin my opinion
I didn't mean a DD PLD, it's definitely a job designed to tank, what I meant was that making all the weaponskills frontal reduces the viability of a DD gld. I'm glad to see their making some gear class-specific, as it encourages players to look into playing... without a soul (crystal). >_>

Another problem with paladin WSes is that flat blade deals the same damage as an auto attack and doesn't combo into anything. Spirits Within needs to stay on phalanx but it'd be nice if there was something we could follow up flat blade with. Maybe shield bash with combo bonus: increased damage or Holy Succor with combo bonus: reduced cast time.
Had not realized that, only ever done it as bard and my assumptions were to be careful about flipping her around due to the Bad Breath. Good to know. ^^ And yea, I don't think positional requirements are the problem, I'd like to see some changes in the direction of the stuff you pointed out (tp cost, etc.). Maybe after the patch when they are adjusted their dmg will reflect the cooldowns and tp cost.
