PLD dps needs to be buffed, current dps a joke

[AIex]

It may be my old-fashioned ways, but a difference of 346 DPS between the top WAR and the top PLD in A1S does not actually seem to be "negligible."

Oh hey, that PLD is me!! I'm sure I can push over 800, but I don't get a slashing down because of our A1S tactic since we split our DPS 2-2 and our NIN stays on the WAR's to Aeolian spam. I spent a total of 2 GCD's on one stance dance the entire fight because I saw a messy situation where the healers needed help right before the tank buster, but even then it shouldn't have been a major dps loss. Riot > Sentinel > Goring + tankbuster starts cast > ShO > SwO > back to the good fight

That aside, me pushing a theory-800 still pales in comparison to top WARs and DRKs. I understand doing a lot less than a WAR, but I honestly don't feel like it's fair being 150 dps behind a DRK because of a shield that doesn't have amazing returns in savage + a 7 minute cd feasible maybe once (yeah yeah, sometimes twice) a fight + lacking the ability to reliably lower raid magic damage (don't give me that "divine veil" arguement, Cascade in A3S is every 70 or so seconds and dv is on a 150 cd vs Delirium + a good chance to proc reprisal with a well timed dark dance).

I guarantee that is not the creme de la creme of PLD DPS.

Also, I don't feel like im "creme de la creme", but I only spent 1 GCD (that didn't even break my combo luckily, see above) that in shield oath. Potted twice and put my FoF's behind goring. Outside of having getting the NIN to dancing edge for me (so that he gets a dps loss instead lol?), I don't see how I can push that number much further (aside from gear obviously). I definitely agree with adjustments to TP / Shield Swipe / Aggro, but potency+offensive adjustments do need to be made too. Getting an extra 50 potency auto attack that doesn't even affect my weaponskills does not even slightly compare to WAR's x1.05 deliverance + x1.20 maim and DRK's x1.15 darkside modifiers that apply to all their weapon skills AND auto attacks.
