So does every hate new PLD now?

Except it wasn't performing badly at all, on average it was performing just a tiny bit under DRK and now it's at the bottom of the barrel.

1. It will be easier to potency buff PLD to hopefully be slightly higher
2. It really doesn't matter that much anyway, if you wanted a tank for DPS you bring DRK/GNB, You only really bring PLD for either fun or progression, the defensive benefits it's seen lately are actually pretty decent.

Do I like that every Job is always playing into every 120 window? no but I can also see how PLD's going to be much less annoying to balance for the future, A lot less people will be afraid of picking up the job to do good damage now, Ideally I'd actually want PLD to keep a separate combo the 1, 2, 3 Atonement (3x) spam isn't really great for the job and having stuff like FOF, Goring blade and Circle of scorn feels pointless to me, currently I don't even agree with every change I think the job is still in need of Improvement.

They likely undertuned PLD on purpose Imo rather then accidently overturning the job, even if they wanted to make PLD do more dps then it was, what then? gnb or drk becomes the "non" meta tank and people complain that gnb or drk don't have enough damage.

EDIT: also while yes PLD was only slightly behind dark knight, that doesn't actually account for how much PLD contributed to raid buffs as dark got more high potency damage in raid buffs the Job was contributing way more overall DPS, Hence why PLD bursts more now.
