Ok I saw "Getting the shaft" and Flionheart and I couldn't help but point out the irony.

PLD severely needs an update. Way more than any of the jobs updated imo.

might be forgetting pup in that, perhaps the job that needs the most updating ever.


what? pup got massive updates over the years so far... C >> B h2h says hi ^^. whm turban, blm turban and their upgrades over the years have been nothing short of awesome as well... MAYBE... MAYBE we could use 1 or 2 attachments or something...maybe a better fast cast attachment? But that might be a lil too strong (Manabooster is ok..I do set it, but its not THAT great).

And what exactly about PLD severely needs an update? I'd be happy if they ever made Cover worth a ***but other than that we're pretty well off.

I don't think PLD really needs an update, but I'm not going to lie; if it got a really nice update for no reason, I would be terribly happy. Really fun job to play.

Wish cover could target anyone in alliance and not require you to stand in front of them =\ Enmity system could use some tweaks

This plus a slightly longer duration would make me a happycat. Really though, covering someone without standing infront of them would be great by itself. It's not so much that running infront of them is a big deal, as I'm sure you know, it's that on bigger mobs it's not always that simple. Failure Amano tanks Tiamat with me and when it has mighty strikes up and terrors him, being infront of him isn't always good enough. Silly dargons. :|

Yeah duration is pretty horrible, shame, any kind of tweak to it could really make surcoat worthwhile to carry around.

I carry my surcoat around everywhere when I'm on pld. Yeah adjusting cover would be nice, it would make it work for the people out there who I've seen not using it correctly.

The Enmity managing magic is for Scholar... It couldn't be more obvious...

Animus Augeo (Raise Enmity)

Animus Minuo (Lower Enmity)


Both SCH85.

I think its funny people think this jobs needs an update. Since it gained shield mastery years ago it has been one of the most powerful jobs in the game by far. The fact it can't DD is the only reason its not top for tanking atm.

What really needs an update are SE's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE *** strategys in this game. The fact everything this game releases can be shadow tanked takes away from tanking jobs. WOW has avoidence tanking in Evasion, Parry, and Shield blocking but nothing like this. I've always felt that the fact ppl tank with utsu was a major err in this game. If they had nerfed blink tanking years ago PLD would still be on top with AA rotations.

This ^.^ is the downfall of Pld.

Se originally said when ppl started blink tanking with Nin that they never intended for the job to be played that way. Now here's what's funny. Every other single time people figured out a way around SE's intended plan...it got nerfed (I'm looking at first AV kills >.>)

Why they didn't fix nin way back then?...Who F'ing knows, but they should have...

I know why, just look at historical precedence...every ninja leapt into the middle of a fight, shouted "swing at me! swing at me! and took on all opponents face to face"

The sneaking, poisoning and backstabbing were all myths...>.<

I was looking forward to them adding something like a hasso-type ability that decreases CE loss from taking damage, increases PDT+MDT-% and increases block rate to make bloodtanking a viable option. Silly SE.
