PLD highest DPS tank single target

[Sarcatica]

PLDs have nothing to show for their lack of DPS. All the tanks can tank well. All the tanks can mitigate well. PLD is sitting here after a whole xpac and it still only has CoS for AoE damage.

PLD is not that bad. I am not even sure anymore why people argue about this. I do agree that having MT to be able to do PLD/DRK flex is kinda bullshit due to equipment reason but PLD offers more safety with MNK, especially great if you are progressing. It's completely moot if you are not even doing raid since DPS isn't a huge issue at all in any other contents. You can be sure that most world progression teams will bank on PLD/MNK comp next few patches to claim that 1-3rd world spot.

Note: It's nice that you as the MT is able to flex PLD/DRK to adapt with the 8man composition.

TLDR: PLD is fine as is, in both raid and outside of it. Small changes are needed for it to stay competitive but PLD is not behind by a lot.
