Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[Sarcatica]

To me, more than anything else so far up till now, DRK wins a huge margin. PLD can CLEAR A12S just fine, yes, they can but DRK can do the same and better. Call me whatever you like, but you can't deny the prowess of a DRK in speedruns. Literally every single speedrun attempt features DRK instead, PLD can't compete with DRK's damage. People like to use what's optimal and you can't deny that. PLD is far from that and again there is nothing much you can do. If you think PLD allows healers to DPS more, DRK can do it just the same and parses back that up. There is no distinction especially in speedruns where everyone has to chime in DPS to make it work. It's like people say WHM can clear just fine but AST is still strictly better while not sacrificing anything much. If you aren't fond of speedruns, then that's fine. But you have no power when literally all the parses at the top features DRK and AST heavily. I personally view speedruns as a good challenge to keep myself in the game since there is nothing else hard to do. What do you do when you have nothing to do?

PLD vs DRK in current Creator Savage:
1. PLD with Less DPS than DRK.
2. PLD don't have enough CDs to cycle in A12S, leading to taxing WAR to tank some tank busters, unlike DRK (DADM OP). PLD's overall A12S clear is about 10% of DRK's.
3. Whatever PLD can tank, DRK can tank. Good healers don't have problem keeping DRKs up.
4. Speedruns heavily favours DRK mostly due to PLD doing less DPS naturally and DRK can tank just as well, no tax on healers in a 0 death parse.
5. In a speedrun, you skip so many things that PLD's Sheltron on physical tank busters doesn't do as much and also for DRK basically sitting on extra CDs to survive.

Not to hate on PLD, I love PLD but in this situation where PLD is again in a spot where DRK heavily contests the MT slot, I have to do the job because that's optimal. You are forcing your team to adjust strats just because you are PLD, just like how Gordias treated PLD where I had my WAR stun legs and I go in to kill adds.

Like I mentioned before, MT has to be able to do both PLD/DRK well enough. Unable to do so will gimp your group to clear earlier. I have seen so many PLD mains in Tonberry admittedly struggling with A12S. Another MT I know also said "I feel so useless, I feel like getting carried by my team". My 2cents.
