Is There A Point In PLD Anymore?

Is there a point in PLD anymore?
@ Alymorel and Avelle: What I'd love is to be a useful Paladin, hehe. I'm sorrowfully aware of the current situation in FFXI, though--I think I'll get PLD to 80 and dawdle on a few more jobs. RDM seems close enough. :)

Quetzalcoatl.Giazz said: Anye, you should level DRK! Shares a lot of the gear that PLD has both for melee and for tanking...such as Perle, Homam, PDT and MDT gear etc. This is actually a pretty good idea, outside of the fact that DRK is a pretty subpar DD. :/

Shiva.Flionheart said: That's pretty much what I'm trying to get across, People waste a spot with a PLD who does average dmg, when they could have a sam, mnk, war etc etc which will deal significantly more damage. THF??? lol

I'd rather level Puppetmaster. You heard me.

That's about all I can think off. Granted it's a little harder now since the update. But before that it only took a couple of min for a nin/drk to get capped CE. And keeping up capped VE is a cinch Pup is good and fun....level it ^^

Ifrit.Eikechi said: not for Yovra NM in abyssea.... lol Lakshmi.Eron said: Well if SE improved pld anymore....DD wise.....then DD's would mostly just QQ like " ZOMFG a PLD is pasing on par with me!!! NERF him/her! OMGOMGOMGOM/CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" I want to see a monk tank Yilbegan, enough said.

Ifrit.Eikechi said: Pup is good and fun....level it ^^ It was a joke, anyways :3 No offense to any PUPs! One of my good friends is a sexy PUP. At any rate, I was going to level WAR for the same reasons Giazz brought DRK up--same DD gear, more or less :)

Fenrir.Nightfyre said: Yilbegan is one of the rare situations where PLD excels, but largely because one of the best DDs for it is BLU/THF and thus CE generation is easily handled.

If they really want to make tanks useful again, they need to remove the 10,000 CE/VE hate ceiling or at least let the tank jobs bypass it. I doubt they really give a ***though at this point, they're too busy making FF14 a worse game than FF11 in every way.

Lakshmi.Mabrook said: Depends on the person playing the job tbh; my PLD has saved and will continue to save lives~ I like war (obviously) and you can still have the PLD heart as a war, while still being versatile. Good choice ma'am! ^^

This^ It's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE having identical hate caps for each job when DDs cap it faster than tanks.

Bring more lvl 10 mules for super duper cure cheats!!! And blu/thfs are beastly enough to make even post update rdms keep hate So I took PLD to 80 for nothing? ;; lol
PLD is still a great job. Period.
Maybe not the best for every situation, but it shure as hell makes some NM's easier. (JoLove, Byakko. etc)

I still think pld is very useful especially as said if your dd's can /thf.
Can go bat ***crazy in damage and pld is very well suited to absorb it. In abyssea/dyna/limbus(not bosses)/merit plds only use is mob selection for dds though.

Love's questionable, Faust shouldn't require a tank at all, and Byakko's been DDtankable for some time.
Keep in mind you can change jobs in FFXI... it's easy to optimize for a given situation, which is why hybrid jobs tend to fall behind. Versatility in a single job has been superseded by versatility in your job spread :( Shiva.Xet said: I still think pld is very useful especially as said if your dd's can /thf.

Heh, so glad I left the game when I did. It was already going in a bad direction but now it's just a joke. Pointless jobs (for the most part) or jobs that can be replaced with others more effectively making the first job situational at best. Maybe that will change once they finally incorporate the final level cap and work in their updates.

I'm all for making the most out of your favorite jobs but SE has a long way to go to balance things out, and I don't know if they'll pull it off for even most jobs. Shiva.Xet said: I still think pld is very useful especially as said if your dd's can /thf. Except DDs shouldn't /thf... as there are more efficient ways to kill your target. You really shouldn't need /thf these days... Fenrir.Nightfyre said: Shiva.Xet said: I still think pld is very useful especially as said if your dd's can /thf.
