Active Support Play as PLD--Never Forget

[PiedPiper]

PLD has always been the white magic tank. In 1.0, this was the feel of the class. We could deal AOE buffs like Rampart and do meaningfull amounts of curing via Cure + Sacred Prisim or Holy Succor. PLD could play a very active and direct role. You could save people and prevent wipes. We were holy defenders.

Now.. I feel like a warrior. All of our hate is from Rage of Halone combo, to the point that if you use any other GCD skill on a single target, your'e loosing hate potential. And Cure only hits for like.. 150? 200? Trololol? We get out of combat raise.. cool. That's all our white magic.

More over, I feel helpless as PLD now. Now, if I see a DD or healer about to go down, there is little I can do for them. No emergency holy succor. No aoe regen from divine veil to help the whms catch up. No negate next attack. Now, I just put my head down, pewpew.. and hope we win. PLD just feels so passive now, so pewpew and hope.. so.. like a warrior. Ugh.
