Sometimes you're ahead, often you are behind. PLD weren't great for a lot of 2.0 and a lot of Heavensward. WAR was king for a good long while. We're over-compensated right now because SE balances things with a truck of cement, and nerfs things with a chainsaw. I expect PLD to fall out of favor again by 5.0, so I'll just enjoy it while it's here and be glad I have friends to play the game with instead of whatever all of you have.
