In comparison, DRK can only outdps PLD if they maximize buff windows like Trick Attack which requires planning and gauge management.
WAR is the most complex of tanks from a rotation standpoint and their dps sinks if they have to deal with mechanics.


As for HG, even if you still get debuffed now, it's still allows you to ignore mechanics and survive with little burden to your healers.
You fucked up mindjack in V3S and walked to the wrong location? Hallowed will save you.

And no I am not criticizing class design, on the contrary I'm just highlighting how well PLD is designed currently.
As for the other Tanks, both WAR and DRK currently suffer from having 1 skill that are completely Core to their class (IR, TBN) which hurts you a great deal when you're not in a position to use it. It's not all bad per say but PLD doesn't have that issue.
