    Suggestion - Increase PLD Healing Support, not Dps

    A few suggestion to keep PLD a desirable tank job, without just streamlining their dps to be in line with WAR/DRK:

    1. Give PLD a group heal, for example by causing Clemency cast on yourself to also heal your group for ~200 potency
    2. Divine Veil with much lower cooldown (~60s). And instead of proccing from heals received, procs only from Clemency cast on yourself
    3. Melee attacks in Sword Oath restore a small ammount of mana
    4. Clemency cannot be interrupted by damage taken
    5. Give PLD an expensive Esuna (~1.2k mana each)

    By increasing PLD healing support, they could contribute meaningfully to a group synergy despite their terrible dps. I feel that just buffing PLD dps to near WAR/DRK levels would make all 3 tanks just more alike, instead of allowing for individual strengths.

    A good PLD could then contribute significantly to healing, just as a WAR/DRK contribute significantly to dps. With extra healing support, Healers would be able to spend more time in Cleric Stance, that way also contributing to dps.

    PLD has always had the Conjurer cross-class, so making them more of a healing oriented tank job would really fit the PLD lore/fantasy I think. ^^

    Tldr.: Keep PLD dps low, instead make up for that with potent group-healing support.
