Honest opinions on flash , do you think its fair it has no damage how would u rank it

[Frowny]

It is correctly balanced. PLD is build as pure defensive tank. It is fair, he has the highest mitigation, so it is fair he does less damage. The only thing could allow is having more enmity generation to compensate. But PLD shouldn't have high DPS, that's not his purpose. Otherwise, I will say yes to a AoE for big enemy group, but without the Enmity generation. We must not forgot what a PLD is. I still think PLD has too much DPS for what should be if you ask me. Instead of give them more DPS, I prefer give them more hate generation. PLD is not for damage.

The current meta is tanks pushing DPS and this is exactly where a PLD fails. DRK/WARs can easily do content with their "lack" of mitigation. As it is now, PLD has a niche but it is grossly overshadowed as a defensive tank isn't truly necessary right now.

And if they make content require a defensive tank, then you bet DRK or WAR will get overshadowed (likely DRK), and thus the cycle will repeat. They can't win without full homogeonisation but with full homogeonisation what's the point of having different tanks?

Valid point and a bit of an odd situation honestly. But I also see nothing wrong with possibly requiring a defensive tank in certain content as, at least in say Savage, if you don't have the AoE for some fights you're screwed (and melee usually can't pull it off).
