PLD highest DPS tank single target

[Lambdafish]

PLD does need some changes but straight DPS gain is not the solution. SE needs to justify PLD being the 'tankiest' by a larger margin of all tanks, like what YoshiP said.

Honestly I would rather them move away from the theme being of them being the "tankiest" job, as it's really hard to balance and at a point becomes irrelevant as all 3 tanks need to be able to survive. What I want is for PLD to become the support tank, something that fits even more thematically than tankiness. A tanky tank is very GLA, but a support tank, with it's cover, divine veil and clemency, is much more akin to a holy tank.

The OP is right that PLD needs SOME AOE damage, but it doesn't need a damage buff as such. What I would like to see is for PLD to get a holy shield ability in the future that gives a shield or regen when stepped in, and a small bleed if an enemy steps in, this means it can be used for support or DPS (or change it so that its ability is dependent on the stance the PLD is in like equilibrium).

Also, I am also in the camp for improvements to SwO, not to give it higher damage, but to make it a more interesting and fun skill, with OGDC added to promote stance dancing.
