...ignoring the fact that whether i have more hp or not...

If you are talking about your HP pool with Defiance up, then you're drastically skewed in judging your epeen by this fact alone. Sure, your flaccid size might be bigger, but your erect size might be lacking. By this, I mean that if you have 10k HP with Defiance up and the PLD has 9k, then you actually might not be as well geared, if you're judging by HP pools. Rate by unbuffed HP, not buffed HP, and you'll get a better comparison. This of course changes if you're using STR trinkets instead, as you'll be working with a smaller base HP pool. Soo... yeah... don't act like you're swinging a bigger trouser snake just because your HP is higher while buffed.
