August 2019 Version Update

There it is, it was may

Last time I just ran out to jugner forest and planted whatever I got from the saplings. Grain and Vegetable seeds both drop, and both are pretty much equally fast to harvest.

Grow M Good

Revival tree root grows in an hour w/o fertilizer. (this is how i am ranking up my furrow for Mog Garden.)

Though you can fertilize with Grow M Good bought right out side of the inventors coalition by a girl whose name starts with "C."

Gardening is not Mog Garden

The comparison doesn't make sense. It would have to be on a sword for PLD to be comparable to the Aettir situation. Since PLD gets Burtgang PDT2. A shield with PDT2 with 10% would give you max 28% PDT2.. pretty sure that's the thing they're trying to avoid for PLD. It's still a decent shield though.

Yeah give the PLD's JSE sword 10% PDT2 and upgrade AG Burtang to be 25% and lets call it a day.

Has anyone had difficulty with *The Shadow Lord? I have the phantom gem but keep getting message about a cursed seal over the door.

No issues and i just finished on VE. Maybe the max amount of people are in the BC?

Mitigating damage is the least of PLDs problems IMO.

You can give pld literal 101% DT, actual complete invincibility/invulnerability (to any, and every thing) 100% of the time and nothing will change.

Invincibility would be nice for solos.

you want to [S], need to go to normal ......

You're only going to fix PLD with a total rehaul complete with new abilities and spells. At this point they are doing nothing more than minor editing.

PLD is dead and it's time to move on.

This. If you are having issue staying alive on PLD, you suck at it. Problem with PLD is that they lack the utility RUN brings to the table with short recast enmity JA/spells + damage + useful JAs (rayke/gambit for mages, battuta for 1:30 of basically being invincible while spamming strong WS). Considering the small updates they are doing lately, PLD will not be worth it for the foreseeable future

Give PLD Foil? I think the main thing is that it runs out of JAs to pull hate and Flash is down, especially on things that hate reset.

Also Foil allowing AoE hate outside of JAs

dont even need to do that, just change reprisal to plds version of foil enmity/cast wise

Or just play RUN. That fixes it.

more DT or enm won't help pld, pld already never dies and has relatively easy time capping hate, it's real problem is lacking utility

new and more threatening NMs would help pld more than any reasonable gameplay buff, but if you need to address it with a gameplay buff they need a way to contribute damage(i like the idea of a physical orientated damage boosting JA, like gambit)

a m.eva set less terrible to obtain and more widely useful than volte wouldn't be bad either, but a lot of pld's strength is in being able to fulltime souveran for the immortality

One thing I wasn't expecting was that they gave Bio III to Dark Knight at level 40.

It doesn't. They just made a mistake when copy-pasting the Bio II scroll for Bio III.

Wouldnt help. A good pld can deal with that just fine.

people would still prefer RUN in 6 man pt because they do 80% of r15 REAM BiS DDs dmg.

Or prefer RUN in dyna wave 3 because wildfire/leaden dmg boost.

Community will always push for faster clear in mmo.



They gave that JA to warrior :/

Tomahawk only works on stuff it works on though, I'm talking a straight damage+% buff.

Warcry

Any chefs get the new Fishermen's Feast recipe?

it mainly consists of
"who cares about skilling fishing in 2019"
sprinkled with a little
"already stocked up during login campaign"
on top.

Top of the Expert list; So it's 102~103 (walnut cookies were below it)

A damage party-buff doesn't fit in line with what PLD is (but I agree that it needs utility).

A 2019 update on shields would be nice--

Make it so striking a shield lessen the boss's physical/tp damage, even if it was a short term debuff (say 10 seconds). Paladins would feel rewarded for blocking more, because the melee are safer from damage.

Make Rampart a stoneskin granted to the party, 10% of the Paladin's Max HP.

Make Shield Bash open up a boss to damage, causing it to take more physical damage for 15 seconds? This would be a thematically acceptable way for the Paladin to buff damage.

Like Rayke and Gambit, the debuff from striking a shield, and from Shield Bash, would benefit the entire alliance.

Make Cover work regardless of position. Make it behave like accomplice.

Buff Flash's base magic accuracy. I missed the days when it would land on everything but Byakko, and last for a few seconds.

Flashga would be fun, but hardly necessary.

Reprisal could be reworked entirely to do decent damage, and detached from any damage cap. Make it scale with number in party.

Make a paladin-zanshin, when the PLD blocks, they have a chance to swing again.

Paladin will never be the damage dealer that RUN is though.

(None of it will happen. The days to fix PLD have long past, and it's at least serviceable, unlike the state they've left other classes for years.
