Clive's Paladin Compiilation

The statement wasn't who brings enough to the table. It was who brings more or less. So, congrats on the TLDR. It really didn't say anything anyone hasn't already said here numerous times and didn't really prove anything despite the "deeper" look.

DRK has utility? They have a lot of ways for dealing damage and do it well but you can't really argue they have better utility by any measure.

Seriously? Delirium and Reprisal matter more than anything PLD has other than DV. At this point, I am still surprised that people do not understand the full scope of raid comps. Having your INT debuff covered by your DRK allows you to bring DRG/NIN if you don't need traited Mantra. As jobs, DRG/NIN have way more impactful utility than the alternative you would be forced to bring to cover the INT debuff, MNK.

As Sarcatica has already detailed, while the initial write up was nice, the reality is a bit different and almost all of the PLD utility is fluff in Midas Savage. In terms of meaningful and consistently impactful utility, WAR and DRK are generally better.
