Why did PLD get such a buff

[Galgarion]

Darks will be left in the dark after this. Not only did PLD get a huge buff mnk got one they didn't really need. So will someone tell me why a sword and board can out dps a great sword? It just doesn't make sense.

You can take a little time out of your day to compare The Dark Knight's attack potency and sheer breath of OCD attacks (and newly reduced TP costs) with the newly buffed Paladin's adjustments and see that you're completely wrong and should stop complaining before doing your homework.
