There are ways around that though too. Giving paladin a massive enmity ability to open a fight with (and Ninja and Runefencer as well) is just common sense. PLD isn't present in zerges for the obvious reason. Voke, flash, and a mediocre ws might keep hate off the first round of ws's (it might, but probably won't) and by the second round, someone else is tanking.

It's all downhill at that point, if you're landing every hit, you're ws'ing at 1/5 (that's probably generous) the rate of the SAMs in your group. In many groups, it's made worse that the DDs are getting bards and the paladin isn't. (Unless each party is getting songs).
