    DRK - 8K Shield every 15s || 20% MIT for 10s w/ 6K healing every 30s || 8-32K+ (scales) Quietus instant healing every 15s || Every 3 GCD's = 5000+ Soulstealer Heal (scales) || health/mana restoration on kill

    If you're talking controlled burst engagements, especially in chokepoints for AoE, DRK blows out PLD from Quietus scaling alone. The PLD is also blowing Guard for covers and not necessarily when they're frontlining. And if they use Guard to frontline/escape like a normal tank, their covers get them killed a lot of times or they burn all their mana and have to pot. PLD LB has a longer charge time and doesn't personally heal the PLD while a DRK can LB at the last minute and get back to 50-100% health from the passive on it. A skilled DRK is always more cancerous to kill than a PLD. DRK's also put out a good bit more damage than PLD. Outside of cover & possibly LB group utility, DRK is better than PLD.
    Imma have to disagree and say PLD is more tankier then DRK but there are trade offs for each

    aside from what Void already said and especially considering DRK has a more passive/shorter way of regaining health, PLD only seems "Tankier" on paper, all of the "tanks" can 1v2 just fine, (gnb might be an exception considering its more of DPS, WAR idk anything about but i guess this is more of a DRK vs PLD) and when it comes to holding key points at the crystal id say DRK is better because before PLD can initiate its healing itll be dead as explained previously, HS doesn't do much for DR when theres not only other WS that act as an equalizer but when youre engaging more than one opponent its a drop in the bucket compared to the dps being delivered, Sacred claim only gives 2k with every hit and Atonement 4k so thats like 3-5s of getting 6k heal vs getting hit with 8-12k dps per opponent per WS, compare that to SE and quietus and its relatively shorter with more healing
