Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[Shurrikhan]

so if someone happens to think warrior has cooler aesthetics, theme, and animations than DRK, they should just be relegated to dealing less dmg because the devs arbitrarily decided jobs with more buttons should deal more damage?

They should be "relegated" to dealing roughly the same damage in-practice, rather than the simpler and less contextually-punished job dealing less damage in-practice for 90+% of players.
