I do agree that PLD should be more ability oriented tank and WAR should be a damage oriented tank. This is how I thought the original concept was going to be. PLD would be sufficient in safe runs while WAR could tank and perform more DPS, but be more dependent on healers.

In my opinion, make PLD abilities more potent and give us back Circle Slash, and I believe PLD would be viable again.

(Flash: Give it more Enmity and give enemies a possibility of getting a Defense Down status) - I like this, this would make up for DPS given by WAR tanks.

So many easy fixes for PLD, but SE is not seeing it.
