Guardian

They really should remove Guardian and replace it with some version of Intervention. You still get a PLD flavor without the bitter after taste of getting double damage.

Unfortunately guard and it's LB are the only reason anyone would tolerate the class in a mode that's all about dps if they get rid of guardian then they'd have to buff PLD which would lead to a slew of complaints

PLD actually has respectable burst DPS with its ability to stack Sword Oath. Confiteor, Intervene, Shield Bash, Intervene, with the associated Atonements, can make life difficult for your chosen target, or rushing down and finishing a weakened enemy.

in a 1v1 scenario sure thats indeed true (even though it cant solo kill) but that can be said for pretty much any job all which have higher burst than PLD, in terms of CC or FL where the setup will rarely ever be a 1v1 PLD falls short in the contribution of the teams overall dps let alone the damage taken thats why its LB and guardian are highly coveted
