PLD dps needs to be buffed, current dps a joke

[Valkyrie-Amber]

umm no a dark or rather the superior version of pld does close to 150 dps more in tanking mode and has the same survivability.

Warrior is made to fill the ot role of dark only atm due to pld is worthless to take due to lack of dps.

You have zero idea what you're talking about. The mitigation a DRK brings is nothing compared to what a PLD can do unless there's a lot of magic damage, and specifically a magical tank buster. How many groups do you see taking a DRK into savage A2? Not many, because everything's physical in there, meaning DRK's mitigation in vastly inferior to PLD's. The way things are now is fine, with PLDs being brought when more physical mitigation is needed and DRKs when more magical mitigation or damage is needed.

So because PLD can do better in one out of four endgame raid fights, they're the best? You're being silly, a majority of Alexander Savage effectively undermines Paladin's so-called "Perfect Mitigation" by virtue of the fact there is not one single physical damage tankbuster in the entire set of raids, this means that the only good thing your shield can do is block fluff autoattack damage, which further renders both bulwark and sheltron useless. So what does this leave PLD with? Rampart, a cooldown that DRK has a perfect equivalent of, Sentinel, which is good but comparable to Vengeance and is beaten for Savage tankbusters by Dark Mind + Shadowskin and Hallowed Ground, an actually fairly good cooldown with a 7 minute recast time. Hallowed Ground alone does not make PLD "the perfect defense tank" everyone claims it is, not in the current raid tier. What PLD was in the coils of Bahamut is not relevant to Alexander Savage.

the way i see is this
PLD = good for Physical type enemies
War = good damage good defence but mostly to self sustain (my opinion is warrior is the middle ground)
DRK = good for magic type enemies.

any sort of correction would be nice to better my understanding
