Like, right now there is still reason to bring DRKs over PLD in physical-heavy fights due to the extra 100 to 150+ DPS provided, but there is pretty much no reason to bring PLD over DRK in magic-heavy fights.

I say to balance things out they need to close the DPS gap between PLD and DRK (let's say, reduce Shield Oath's damage penalty to 10%), or if they insist on keeping PLD a "turtle", make it so that it still has an edge in defensive capabilities even in magical-heavy fights (let's say, increasing Shield Oath mitigation to 30% or allowing Sheltron to block magic too).
