How to Build a PLD, needing tips plz.

[DomonKasshu]

Regarding required skills from other jobs, what are the limitations associated with this? How many classes can you pull skills from? Can certain skills only be acquired up to a certain level, like FFXI main job/sub job etc? New to XIV but not new to the online FF adventure. Trying to get a feel for PLD before I really commit to this.

PLD can only use 5 skills from conjurer and marauder classes with the exception of class specific skills, however GLD can use 10 skills from any class (the same exception applys). There is no cut off to what level skills you can use cross class are, i.e. archer has a lv 42 skill called chameleon that can be used cross class.

I appreciate you passing that info along. Makes a lot more sense now. I would ask what you think the top five skills would be but I assume that a lot of skills will be situational?

It's mostly situational, most will recommend you get Cure, Raise, Stoneskin, and Sacred Prism from Conjurer. For marauder you will want bloodbath and Provoke. You will definitely want Cure and provoke. Sacred prism turns Cure and stoneskin into AoE which can be nice for a hate spike and protecting party members. What you use is up to you but I'm sure you'll find them all useful.
