Enmity

It doesn't bother me, but lack of Atmas doesn't speak for the job as a whole. A person in particular not having Atmas is fine. But that person wouldn't be a useful representative of damage on NMs either. There is the general case, and then the specific anecdotal case. For the purposes of job discussion, the general case is almost always a safer bet.

I'm not even sure what that meant. So i'll refrain from commenting at the risk of misunderstanding you again

But I will just say this. Even taking into account high end atma, the monk may be able to put out more damage than a Paladin - but he will never be able to heal himself effectively. And I do think this advantage is overlooked by too many paladins, and does contribute to this self-loathing many paladins seem to have about their job. It is a real and significant advantage they have over other tanks with higher offenses - and does help balance it out.
