    Counter attacking is something that would work well with a shield based playstyle but in that situation PLD would technically have more damage 'potential' than the other two tanks, while actually tanking which like many combat situations in this game taken into real world logic wouldn't be nearly as effective with an axe or a great sword making either argument moot. The actual problem with making tanks noticeably weaker than each other is that they become undesirable if they can't meet a decent damage threshold. Defensive utilities have short term usefulness.
