PLD main here and the argument 'but pld offers utility!!!' doesn't hold when you don't need it

Cool, let's give pld ALL the utility and the highest dps. Totally balanced. You should be I'm the dev team with your perfect sense of how to make any tank comp viable. Fukn genius here.

I mean, that was the state of war in heavensward and nobody batted an eye. Storm's path debuff was straight busted. Throw is slashing, the best cooldowns (still the best, vengeance is the best mitigation cooldown bar none for time and effect, and holmgang is better than hallowed imo since you can use it 3-4 times a fight), and the highest damage and that was heavensward war and everyone was fine with it. They just said lolpld and went on their way. But when shoe was on the other foot for even a second, oh lord did they scream foul.

where exactl ydo you see me saying pld should have the highest damage? I said WAR and DRK should deal the highest damage but if they scale pld for grp utility then pld needs something that gives the group a bit of damage boost because mitigation can only get you so far. PLD as invididual should not do more dps than a drk or war, but it should benefit the group dps somehow so that the deficit gets a bit evened out during let's say burst phases with a 5% dmg buff lasting for 20 seconds on every party member

what makes no sense is nerfing the pld's damage additionally to buffing DRK and WAR because if it falls behind too far in damage-utility, then it's only good for the first 3 weeks and i can put my pld back in the closet again and have to play fucking DARK KNIGHT again because else I'll be a burden to my team and that is far removed from balance as well
