Just a thought, considering current state of PLD and WAR jobs merging them would be most beneficial imo. It can be called as Templar, Knight or something else and open job slot can be filled with a brand new creative job as a later addition. What do you guys think about this?

For game balance (if it were just job abilities and job traits), not too bad an idea.

But that would mess up a hell of a lot in the game. AF quests, Dynamis drops, AF3 stuff would need to be reworked.

Plus, how can a Warrior wield both a greataxe and a shield?

It's pretty impractical, in my opinion.

Hey, this isn't the FFXI Official forums. Go there if you want to post idiotic suggestions.

Also, haven't we had enough mergers lately? My goodness...

For AF stuff, simply merged job may use both PLD's and WAR's armor sets. One set for defence, other for offence.

Give paladins a hand cannon and the ability to ride magic carpets. That way you can just swoop in and blast something and fly away. Also they must get TH9999.

This is the only way.

There is alot I would like to see done to PLD to make it a lot more beneficial to parties these days. My list would include:

-FIRST AND FORMOST, FIX THE HATE SYSTEM
- B- Evasion
-Make blocking take 0 dmg
-Give them more offensive capability via enchanting, offenive spells, better ws, something.
-More mp, maybe they can play backup healer if they needed to.
-A JA that naturally gives them a +emnity bonus.
-Their own provoke, you know, for /nin tanking to make them just that much more useful?

This is one of the worst idea's i've seen yet on how to "fix" pld.. Your idea on how to fix pld is to ruin war and when that happens pld will still be dusty because ppl will still kill faster and more efficient on mnk, nin, sam and many other jobs.

We should just merge all dd's into 1 job that can use all weaps all spells and ja and then call it pld. <-- this will save the pld job and hell i'd even use it then.

I'm going to be nice and pretty much explain why this isn't a viable idea, in the most concise way possible.

Warrior currently is the best DD, however the reason it's not used as much for tanking, etc, is because it's a glass cannon. MNK and NIN are great DDs and are sturdy. By making WAR(the best DD) and PLD(supposed to be the best tank) into one job, it'd be more awesome than this game could handle, thus causing the servers to implode and create a black hole that would kill all life on earth.

Warrior will remain warrior, paladin will remain paladin. You will be able to use both jobs abilities, more utility. Nothing changes, you get plus. What would be wrong with that?

This is a terrible idea for many reasons including but not limited to:

A Warrior with the defensive abilities of a Paladin, (admittedly really not that great to begin with but still), would create that which must not be named.

For a combined war and pld to take significantly reduced damage, you have to wear a shield. That wouldn't work so well for dd purposes.
