Thread: 1.22 - 1.22a - 1.22b changes

From the elitist school of thought PLD is not used for the sheer fact that enmity threashold is higher on WAR when you combo it with collusion it allows your dd's to go 100% from the start of a fight. PLD is much more equipped to handle issues when learning new content since its solo survivability is greater.

It's not just that, PLD's defenses don't offer enough over WAR's defenses to make up for the giant DPS gap between PLD and WAR. Hell even the second weakest overall DPS job (PLD being the weakest) can usually be within 1k-1.5k of the highest DPS jobs which is at least 3x times or more the amount of damage PLD can pull off in one fight. Even with our abilities and Enmity combos PLD still can't get a good solid threshold well above the other good DPS jobs (due to recast timers) without at least closing the overall damage gap to produce better enmity on our enmity combos, or giving us some innate enmity bonus.

I kind of want to stay away from more JA spam because the animation delay affects our TP accumulation from auto attacks, and we already spam enough JA's as it is.
