an aegis pld probably have multiple MDB sets seeing how much was invested in the job. skill is irrelevent there
bg's gimpthread says otherwise
the skills you need to get a relic(intense patience/a lot of money for rmt/the patience/resources to fishbot on multiple characters/large scale manipulation of fellow players)
are an entirely different skillset than the ability to play the game well
sometimes they coincide and you get a good player with a relic
sometimes they do not and you get a gimpthread entry
your new avy is throwing me soo off. I expect potato face and end up with dora the explorer o.o
which is better

If everyone were to just use "The best" job, FFXI would consist of BLU, RDM and BRD, and not a goddamn thing else. I hope I'm being wooshed cause you forgot COR, DNC and MNK. And get rid of BLU. I hope I'm being whoosed here because you said get rid of blu I really don't wanna go over this again. Basically anything BLU can do something can do better.
But again, Nightfyre in my LS, BLU all the time (pretty much). And just recruited another BLU ***. Name one job that can generate more hate without engaging? Name 1 job that place more hate more consistently on tanks while staying out of range. Oh and job specific debuffs. Rediculous dmg nowadays.
Also pretty sure anything a mnk can do another job can do better :)

I expect Potato face, but Dora's neat because it implies a condescending attitude. Also the avatar is crisper/cleaner.

How many fights can you not engage anymore? JoL maybe?
Also hate mechanics :/ a DD will constantly recap it lol this is basic stuff that's been covered before in this very topic.
wtf is a job specific debuff? Terror? lol

wtf is a job specific debuff? Terror? lol Um all kites? People without certian jobs and/or enough support. Turns out not everyone fights exactly the same way you do on everything.
Takes 8k dmg to cap CE against a lvl 95 mob. Most NMs have what 50-60k hp at most with plenty more around the 20-30k range? Good luck having all your DDs capping CE on them if you have a decent amount of them. Especially if they take any dmg or lose any shadows.
Magic def down? Def down when ja timers for other jobs are down? tp stealing. Disease. Being able to do both light and dark based sleepga. -evasion. Sure feint every few min and some ws but easier. Aoe versions of stun and flash. Highest att down in the game. Highest -str and -agi in the game. Also supposedly gravity and binds that mobs don't build resistance to.

Reading comprehension. We're talking about an absolute best situation, a magical world where people not having proper jobs leveled doesn't exist.
And if this was a question of doing things the way I do then you would use a BLU? How many times have I said in this very thread that I play with Nightfyre almost all the time and he's on BLU 90% of the time?
Who needs to read posts? It's much easier to just make an *** of yourself.

"ya cept i dont care bout a couple -pdt i got aegis, the haute gives me a higher dps without feeding a lot of tp like joytoy, has add effect so i dont bother wasting mp with the new en spell, and the 7 acc is always a bonus, besides the fact im working on almace and debating bout making excalibur"
I cried tears of laughter while reading this. Give your aegis to a real paladin bro, save your LS some trouble.

If you use hauteclaire then you should sell your account to a real PLD.

Towngear yo !
It seems to me that PLD is not what it once was as a "tank". With the amount of HP, and buffs other jobs can now get, along side the DMG most DD's put out, make it almost useless to use PLD's like they once were.
I think at 99 there are some exciting possibilitys for the job including haste, and other abilitys.
Any ideas how the job may change?
In 2004 it was pretty popular to stack VIT and DEF, 2010, haste ad ACC, it looks like SE is pushing for more -PDT% but who knows. :D
