Just shows how garbage PLD is as a class. There's literally no reason at all to play one over another tank class, and the developers attempt to "buff PLD has addressed absolutely nothing.

The only thing they have achieved is making it even more frustrating to run Duty Finder, as there is absolutely nothing a PLD can do to take down adds or bosses if the randomly elected DPS are bad at their class -- which is pretty much every DF these days.

They should just change all the PLD swords to wet noodles.

God help new players who choose to level a GLD / PLD. Soloing has become even worse than it was before.
I just hope you know that PLD got buffed in relation to the other tanks but tank damage across the board got nerfed. A brief look in the reddit link and you will see the DMG difference to a DRK in ShO(compared to Grit) dropped from 25% to 12% or something and SwO(compared to no Grit) from 8% to 4%.
