Pal is not a DPS tank

Also a really good pld can wipe the floor with War and drk if there not doing what they should be doing. Always take a step above.

Of course they can. A really good PLD can out-dps a bad DPS player. But that's saying nothing.
Looking at some actual numbers, let's take the ten best clears of A11S. DRK damage is around 6% higher than PLD average. WAR is around 9%. And if you expand it, look at the top 20 even, the gap widens even more.

It's a bad metric to look at, you are seeing the padded runs with RNGs going on. Most of those runs don't have the exact same Balance cards (some are even deliberately on enhanced for padding runs to validate precise comparison, how the hell can you get DRK doing 2.1k++ damage in A10S? It's just full of bullshit runs like this). If you want to see the exact comparison at the same level, you should try all tanks with Storm's Eye applied on dummy to actually see the real difference, at least it has more credibility than comparing "top" parses because they actually aren't that fair to compare.

It's still real numbers compared to "hey PLD doesnt have problems because good PLD are better than bad WAR", which was what i was contesting. Of course some of the runs are padded, or with better RNG.
