toooooooooo lazy to skill up.. Same reason a lot o peoples dun wanna level stink.. Just lazy..
Why go for faster XP/Merits and spend the extra time getting skill ups when you can just sit and stare @ pixels™ waiting for a meripo for hours and hours...
& hours....
OMG a besieged!!! Time fro some skill ups!
1 hour @ Besieged = 2k XP average
Campaign Battle = still leaves you gimped
Level Stink for 13-20k+ /hr = priceless

myself i got to much gear aimed at 75 to make 8khr worthwhile to me. yes i tend to get painfully slow partys /sigh. its a massive hassle to change ALL of my macros for a couple hours worth of xp. for pld ill stick to campaign battle, as much as i hate that haha.
I don't mind suffering and not being able to skill up, can always do that later or whatever...
Personally, I think level sync is the best thing that actually allows a PLD to merit, seeing as how merit parties are now mostly TP burn. But I don't level sync very often on PLD because despite the fact that Level Sync was a great idea it just completely ganks my gear. Seriously, I feel I would be better off tanking in the nude vs wearing crappy level sync'd armor...

When I hit 75, I'll campaign battle to keep xp capped. I'll use my WHM to merit.
I doubt I'll level sync it at all unless it's a favor for a LS mate.

I never level sync on my PLD unless I"m really bored and it's with LS mates. If I'm going to seek it will be on my BLU. I can cap xp and AN in campaign as /rdm and get a high enough buffer for whatever event I'm doing in the span of an hour without anyone else. This is why PLD's do not sync down.

Ask my LS I will sync down. Helping ls mate lv his DRK (which was 12) for RDM sub and will start on his WHM (which is 1) soon as he hits 37DRK.
I have no reason to lie about anything lol.

Unless I'm being wooshed, you can only Level Sync at level 10 or higher.

As PLD75, I usually campaign to keep my buffer up. But I won't say no to tanking an EXP party, as long as it's above Jungle levels, and friend of mine is in said party that needs a tank (usually the friend who asks me to come tanking).
I got my current PLD buffer from replacing my NIN37 self in an East Ronfaure (S) party.

Because PLD is boring. Who wants to go BACK to a bird camp and do the same thing for hours?
Level sinc is good and all for exp but why would i want to have my gear convert to garbage, along with weak skills/abilitys just so you can exp? nah ill campaign :p
I'll usually do this for friends if they ask and I'm not tied up with something else. Anyone else I'd just as soon campaign if I'm that hard-up for buffer.
Personally I don't have gear to sync down below 68 >.>; Most of my PLD AF gear is +1'd and I'd have nothing to effectively tank in a 54+ party. At 68 I have the full Iron Ram set which is awesome for its level.
I don't level sync on pld, like most of you said, unless its for a friend. Campaign for exp buffer is the general consensus.

Why is this thread still alive?
It's not like anyone can force someone else to sync down to their lv just because "they cant find a tank".
Answer to this whole thread is:
Wait for it....
Some ppl DO level sync and some dont /gasp!
Those who are so unhappy with others that dont sync down to their lv on their PLD, why dont you lv PLD yourself and spend your days syncing down to benefit those poor poor people who cant find a tank.

Necro Bump Detected!
[32 days between previous and next post]lol I was just argueing about this the other day.I found alot of pld @ 65+ that refuse to sync down because of falling behind on skill. But let me tell you this, once you hit 75 pld, it's still going to be worthless unless you have some homam and some other good gear capped skill or uncapped skill. When you're at 75 pld, if you're even considering useing it for endgame, you're going to be usein it so much that your ***is gonna cap quicker than you think.
So overall, to me, it really doesn't *** matter if you sync down, sync down, get some exp and stfu about your shield skill etc.

Right, except during most endgame events PLDs are either /nin and blink tanking or kiting, rendering shield useless because it won't proc when you're kiting or when shadows are up. Sure, it'll be useful when shadows are down, but you won't find there's enough opportunity to effectively skill as your shadows should never be down long.
[+]
Shield skill is our ace in the hole. Our bread and butter. Even /nin having high shield skill available is a requirement. How else do you think you're going to get those shadows BACK up? And yes you'll do a lot of endgame as /nin the "main event" for MOST players is dynamis and you'll spend the majority of your time as /war and thing that's gonna keep you alive more than anything is your shield skill. Or you can go in with an undercapped shield and never block and constantly take 100+ damage hits rather than making them more like 20 damage.
While I understand your point, and never said that Shield Skill as a whole is useless, my entire point was that you can't rely on skilling it up in endgame like this Inglorion guy is saying, for two reasons:
1) You'll either be blinking or kiting a large amount of the time.
2) If the skill is not as high as you can get it before doing endgame, then you're pretty boned.
Granted, with Level Sync and Campaign, not to mention PLDs getting few invites in the 70s due to zerg and merit parties, most PLDs are going to have undercapped skill anyway.

But you can't go below lvl 10. :P
*Also, why sync down from -75- unless they were your friend and they were -really- nice? I don't sync below the Mire anymore on my NIN71 because my EVA is behind by 15 lvls. Besides, I wouldn't ask people to sync from 75 anyway, go for 74 max in emergency situations. Otherwise, try to aim for people within 10 lvls of the sync, because it can annoy people, like myself, if I were asked to sync down some 30 lvls for poor exp.
