Why did PLD get such a buff

Its just that DRK's dps rotation is one of the few things about it that is well designed and doesn't need tweaking. When you add DA effects to damaging oGCDs, you alter the rotation.

The average DRK OT rotation uses 5 DAs per minute. 4 DASEs, and 1 DACS. So if you add DA effects to things like Plunge and SaE, suddenly DASE becomes almost obsolete if their DA effects are a net gain because they would usurp 2 and 1.5 DAs every minute, respectively. At the end of the day it would also likely nerf or buff DRK's personal DPS, neither of which is necessary.

TLDR I'd rather see DA effects on things like Sole Survivor or just more different in/out of Grit effects that provide party-based raid utility, and leave DRK's DPS playstyle untouched. That's just me though.
