I only have DRK and PLD at 60 but from what I can tell right now,

PLD feels more comfortable to play, that's why I use it instead of DRK. Yes maybe I can do more damage on DRK, but I tunnel hard on DRK since I'm not used to it.

PLD's main drawbacks are right now, is that it's new combo's are great but don't add threat so you either need a Ninja or a ton of STR gear, or both. If you try to hold threat in Sword Oath now, you basically just have to spam Halone combo for the bonus threats and give up on that extra DPS. Depends how good your DPS/OT are and how much your healer has to heal, so it could vary. Basically PLD does less threat (comparatively) than it does in 2.0.

The other things are:

With high DPS checks, stoneskin and clemency are basically useless, you probably lose 3-4 encounter DPS for every cast. Divine Veil is good, its really good actually, if it wasn't on a 3 minute CD.

Shelltron :X yeahhhhh good and bad at same time
