To respond to OP, there needs to be equality in terms of dps to utility exchange

Utility wise it should be: PLD>DRK>War

Damage wise: War>DRK> PLD

A good pld can still do good damage and a War should be able to be able to achieve high enough damage to outclass the utility etc etc
DRK should be able to be decent in both, but excel if they are skilled in both.

If these archetypes didn't exist then what's the point of having two handed heavy weapon tanks that hit like noodles and wear pizza armor whilst their co-worker tank is wearing shiny plate armor using The Prince That was Promised sword to slay all evildoers.

Pld in hw was FINE, it just needed more utility and the ability to OT, they got that, they don't need more damage.
