Tank Balance Achieved?

[Aletin]

except that any PLD that uses clemency or passage is doing it wrong, those are skills that sacrifice a lot of damage which no PLD will ever do.

I would just like to elaborate on this, it's not that using them is bad, it's that it's very unoptimal. The only times I seriously use PoA when I could do damage is in O3S when it's the adds+aoe spam and that was by request of the healers. O4S on meteors (haven't been to neo yet) again by request of healers.
The only time I've done clemency was in O4S when trying to just push as far as we can to see what's happening in the fight.

As everyone gets more gear and we get more familiar with fights I of course will be phasing out the PoA and Clemency usages to gain myself more damage.

Edit: Further comments about PLD utility.
Divine Veil is nice, it replaces a deploy adlo, but at a 5k shield every 2 minutes its nothing game breaking.
Cover is still mostly useless, only having found one use, that being preventing our BRD from getting knockbacked by Vacuum Wave in O4S
Intervention is... okay?. It will only ever be 10% because you need to use your own cooldowns for mitigating the damage you take, exception being maybe O1S for Twin Bolt. And the problem with a 10% reduction, if it makes the tank live in a case they shouldn't have, the Tank and/or Healers made a mistake. Other than that, taking 3k less damage isn't allowing the healers to heal less, they will still heal using the same GCD heals and the same OGCD heals. The difference it makes is a regen tick, which ticks anyway. So intervention is doing practically nothing.

So we've come down to, 3 bits of utility in undergeared content that is done by the request of healers (PoA, Clemency and Intervention) , 1 still extremely niche skill that sees almost no use (Cover), and 1 skill that is actually worth something (Divine Veil).
