Enough is enough

My honest question is...do PLDs really think SE is going to buff us without taking something away after all SE has been saying about PLD being the defense tank ?

Something has to be nerfed.

Pointing to War isn't an argument SE sees War as an Offensive Tank and PLD a Defense Tank, so if you want that dps increase something has to get nerfed.

But they aren't the defense tank. WAR/DRK can easily match their defensive capabilities (with the single exception of Hallowed Ground), and even exceed them in certain regards (tankbusters especially, unless you're able to hold on to Sentinel/Rampart to mitigate them). That's the key thing that people are complaining about: ignoring the issue of more defense eventually becoming superfluous, it'd be one thing if PLDs really were the premier defensive tank that easily outmatched the others in durability in compensation for lower damage, but it's quite another when they frankly don't even have that as a card to play.

My current preference would be for them to roughly equalize the defensive levels of the tanks, and then focus on giving them specific niches beyond that which helps to differentiate them.

You are absolutely right all these plds fail to realise if they want to gain something they got to lose something.
