Long story short:
- In EW, every job needs to oblige 2 min raid buff meta, which was supposed to simplify things but it broke everything instead
- PLD's burst doesn't align with raid buffs
- DSR shows that PLD's lack of defensive CD is too much
- Tight 6.2 savage DPS check further shows that PLD (along with other jobs) is really too weak in current META
- SE has non-sensical ideology that PLD should have lower damage because it has range (which isn't guaranteed to align with downtime)
- Also hardest tank to optimize (top plays include excel spreadsheet for every encounter)
- PLD needs to get quick rework
- SE is afraid of removing abilities because of Kaiten accident (I'm convinced they deleted it by mistake and now it's too awkward to admit it, only logical explanation at this point)

- Nonsense like your example happens
