YES!! This completely! I have been waiting for someone to post something about this. This just shows me that not everyone has played all 3 tanks and some of the DPS that have conflicting skills. To me this is why PLD is completely no longer viable in end game. DRK has all the skills PLD does and does it better. If your smart about the MP management DRK eclipses PLD in every possible way. Same with WAR, It does way more DPS and higher AOE DPS + the debuffs are a simple rotation.

I'm with you SE needs to address this issue quickly and make it worth while to put that shield back on for me. I suppose I'll work on finishing DRK 56 and WAR 56.
