PLD abilities

[Donjo]

Why in the world so many PLD tanks want to complain about combos that do damage is beyond me. It's such a ridiculous thing to complain about...

I don't think that's the cause of the confusion. Take a look at all of the combo enders for the Tanks.

WAR
Storm's Path: Deals Damage... and reduces enemy damage dealt.
Storm's Eye: Deals damage... and reduces enemy slashing resistance.
Butcher's Block: Deals damage... and generates a ton of Enmity.

DRK
Delirium: Deals Damage... and reduces enemy intelligence.
Souleater: Deals Damage... and provides a self heal(in Grit at least).
Power Slash: Deals Damage... and generates a ton of Enmity.

PLD
Goring Blade: Deals Damage... and provides a powerful dot.
Rage of Halone: Deals Damage... and generates a ton of Enmity.
Royal Authority: Deals Damage... and nothing else.

Royal Authority is the only Tank combo ender that does not have any kind of additional effect. To many, this feels like a missed opportunity.
