As someone who tanked as a Paladin in Vanilla through to WotLK, you're wrong. Seal of the random make threat made it inconsistent... but Paladin tanking in WoW was never difficult. TBC onwards was simply Holy Shield->Consecrate->Loot.
But hey, I can see you main a WAR, so your opinions on PLD must be entirely true. The grass, the other side, etc etc.

wow tanking is not difficult, true, but not as simple as pld in ffxiv...
and you are 100% wrong about wow, you probably never played wow beyond TBC.
Beyond TBC tanking for EVERY class was a joke and still is. Its just slightly different due to the active mitigation changes in MoP but tanking has never been "hard"/"difficult" or requiring the use of more then 5% of your brain/attention. If you lose threat as a tank in WoW you're probably afk.

*gigglesnort* You tanked Deadmines as lvl 60 or what? They were never viable tanks throughout vanilla (maybe just before TBC hit), not for any end-game content. It seems this whole thread is full of people who never tried proper end-game in WoW and only ran a few dungeons and tried the lowest tier of raids right before the next expansion arrived. Tanking in WoW was only early on about actually keeping aggro, which is a stupid mechanic. Tanking should be about surviving, not making sure the enemy hates you.

I seriously doubt that you tanked end game content with your paladin in vanilla WoW. Unless you were lucky enough to get a Thunderfury, tanking with a pally was incredibly difficult compared to a warrior or feral druid. You could manage a 5-man or UBRS, but most raids wouldn't let a non-holy paladin anywhere near a 40-man unless that paladin was severely overgeared for the content.As someone who tanked as a Paladin in Vanilla through to WotLK, you're wrong.

Once BC hit, it became a lot easier to tank with a pally. And by the time Wrath hit, holding threat simply became a complete joke for every tank class.
