I don't like "burst" classes.
I don't like the 2min buff system.
I don't like to rely on crits of the heavy hits.
I don't like 2000 potency skills and the frustration of them not criting.

And PLD is one of the last job's who don't have these things I don't like.
Really, I would rather play a underperforming job which has trouble getting into HC PF group's or statics, then playing a 20sec burst job that has nothing to do for the remaining 100 sec.

Also, these 2min buff windows are only important for savage and ultimate groups. And there only in the first few weeks.

Go into the PF for extreme trail or DF alliance raid and you will not see any buff alignment, not even at the opener.
Because "casuals" don't care about it, don't have to worry about it and they clear the content while having fun.

Current PLD brings variation in gameplay styles and variations is a good thing.
