Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

Depends on what fight you base your math on and what you want to mitigate.

Overall I would say that all Tank's are fine with mitigation right now. Especially after the living dead adjustment.

It doesn't. PLD is the tank with the lowest sustain and personal mitigation by a mile, and it also has the weakest party support because Wings is unlikely to get the whole group unless it's a downtime thing anyway (which is always "throw the sink at it" anyway, so wings doesn't even matter here) and Cover may as well not exist. If you are remotely honest with the math, PLD comes out on the bottom in any equation. There's a reason Square-Enix is reworking it.

If you want to "save your friends," play DRK. TBN is a better buddy-saving tool than Clemency could ever hope to be.
