Are PR and DA still important for a website?

PageRank is an algorithm created by Google founder Larry Page, and named after him. It’s a simple measurement of links and link equity. Google looks at a given site and measures the number of links pointing to that site. It measures the authority of those sites as well, to prevent abuse from link farms. A site with higher quality incoming links in a higher number will have a better PageRank.
Domain Authority is a metric created by Moz.com as a more accurate indication of the value of the site. Like PageRank, it is a logarithmic calculation of the authority of the site. Rising from a low 30 to 35 will be easier on this scale than rising from a high 80 to 85. A DA of 100 is the top ideal, while an unranked site would have a DA of zero.
 
Domain authority is still important as Moz ranks your domain depending on the trust and popularity. Page rank is no more important as Google has stopped updating their page rank algorithm now.
