Other Job Reworks?

[Rithy255]

I feel like the problem with this is "But what if the others are good right now?"

The original post contained that I replied to would be that Dark Knight would get barriers more often + Mitigation, This would most certainly put Dark Knight in a league of it's own, I actually think Dark Knight defensively is already at least on par with PLD outside sustain, with how it's kit works, I think even with just how Dark mind works and oblation is it sets Dark knight up to be very good mitigation wise and stands above tanks, the only advantage PLD has is you can be more flexible with holy sheltrons or help in double tank busters more. PLD also suffers from the longest invul which infact hurts its defensive viability in a lot of situations and is more of a hinderance. You're under selling Dark Knights defensive value here which has always been pretty good (despite what I've thought in the past and others have). It's main issue is aoe survivability which barriers, not a lot of sustain, a magic only mit are the reason why it falls behind.

your Summoner/BLM/RDM comparison doesn't really make much sense to me, as Dark Knight already is on par with other tanks if not better and my whole goal wasn't to make all the tanks to dark knights levels it was to change up on how all the tanks defensively mitigate in the first place as the current design is very samey, I think the point I'm making is all tanks deserve defensive adjustments in some form or another to stand out from one another, you can do this in a way that also makes them all viable aswell. You also can't really just buff a tank defensively (like DRK) and expect it to be perfectly balanced without changing up other defensives, considering how strong Dark knight already is defensive wise.

PLD is actually defensively is very similar to gunbreaker Tbh I'd like that to change, PLD having clemency is sort of not needed in the current design of the game and cover is even more of a joke so I'll hardly count those abilities until they actually have a place in PLD's kit. Warrior is massive on sustaining others? which makes no sense to me but also has on par defensives, I think warrior could genuinely do with a defensive kit overhaul like I suggested. I've talked on how Dark Knight is actually really good defensively.

Even if you want to argue that DRK feels more clunky then other tanks and is in more need, I'd argee but why does PLD have clunky defensives also? why is warriors identity being a paladin and healing allies? I don't really understand why DRK would only get changes defensively.
