PLD changes

[Allegor]

I'm a filthy casual that doesn't know 'the maths' so forgive the potencyally () dumb question but uhh...now that FoF and Req aren't mutually exclusive, and apparently you'd even want to cast them practically side by side... wouldn't it make more sense to merge them and make Req an upgrade to FoF...?

Long story short:
- In EW, every job needs to oblige 2 min raid buff meta, which was supposed to simplify things but it broke everything instead
- PLD's burst doesn't align with raid buffs
- DSR shows that PLD's lack of defensive CD is too much
- Tight 6.2 savage DPS check further shows that PLD (along with other jobs) is really too weak in current META
- SE has non-sensical ideology that PLD should have lower damage because it has range (which isn't guaranteed to align with downtime)
- Also hardest tank to optimize (top plays include excel spreadsheet for every encounter)
- PLD needs to get quick rework
- SE is afraid of removing abilities because of Kaiten accident (I'm convinced they deleted it by mistake and now it's too awkward to admit it, only logical explanation at this point)
- ???
- Nonsense like your example happens
- ??!!!??!
- Shield bash is still in the game
