PLD is more unique compared to DRK and War, but it still does have part of the same issue: Use a CD to spam a single skill multiple times for the duration. It's not as bad as War adn DRK but it still needs some work. Why even have such a skill when you literally have a class that has a shield. There's a lot of creativity they could have that revolves around Shields that wouldnt need them to resort to letting PLD be a caster for 10 seconds. And as for War, I think that stems from an issue with numbers and the flexibility of Holmgang.
Warrior's key issue was that stance dancing was their whole schtick, balancing the need to soak damage with rolling out as many Fell Cleaves as possible. I maintain that removing tank and DPS stances were the best thing to happen to tanking in this game, but unfortunately, Warrior got nothing to compensate for removing half of the fun playing them.
