Finally! PLD will get auto refresh, and some new abities I hope no more of 3-7 hours of seeking, and always get over pick by nin

PLD 4fw!
Unfortunately, SE still hasn't hit the nail on the head. I don't know, maybe now we'll be able to solo Even Matches and maybe get a chain #2. With the right setup (vermilion cloak, Ethereal earring, WHM or RDM sub + joyeuse, yag drinks and the likes) we could really put to advantage the auto-refresh, increased shield block and TP bonus,
BUT
as far as xp pts go, we still need a WHM's attention, a refresher and our WS aren't that great on VT-IT mobs. Really, all we can is straight-forward tank.
That being said, NINs can still DD, Debuff and take 0 dmg while doing so. And please, let's not come to "PLDs are masters at holding hate". These days, with players more experienced in their jobs, a decent NIN can hold hate, whereas a good NIN will do it as well as we do.
Quite unfair on our side eh?
Here's a good tip: Find some DRGs and try-out Lufaise Meadows. They too, get the shaft at end-game scenario, and will love your company. Now you just need the that dedicated WHM and that RDM friend of yours. Oh well...
