    Re: Why do look down on this type of pld

    The question is: why would a PLD go after Ragnarok before Excalibur? Excalibur can do 200 in added effect damage if your HP is full roughly every other hit according to Discordian, and can also give Defense Down. 200 damage effect damage every other hit is downright ridiculous, that's a two-handed weapon swing with high attack right there. Not to mention Knights of the Round can continue Light skillchains. Of course, I'm sure Ragnarok has some nasty effects of its own, but I'd still pick Excalibur over Ragnarok as a PLD.

    I think the total number of attacks is irrelevant, as the Mercurial Sword still gains around 11 TP per hit, the fact that it hits so much allows it for some huge TP gain. Of course, it does have bad base DMG, I'll give you that. I haven't seen it in action, but I suspect it could keep up with other Great Swords if you could spam Spinning Slash enough. I don't expect it to do extremely high damage though unless you could also do constant skillchains with someone else too. But like I said, I haven't seen it in action.

        You can't keep your shield skill capped unless you've got it out and using it 24/7, or have it capped with a previous job.
