there was nothing wrong with Paladin to begin with, i have no idea why SE need to pump up the Enmity rate anyway.

I think one reason could be with duty finder groups. Any non-relic tank knows how much of a bitch it is to keep aggro off a relic + 1 BLM without them having to throttle their dps. It lessens the penalty when there is a gear gap between your tank and DPS. Otherwise, all things equal, yes, with equally geared tank/DPS/healer, a tank had no problems holding threat in 2.0.

My bet is that a Paladin in swordoath was generating more enmity than one in shieldoath. I would have given the Paladin a passive at lvl 45 reducing enmity by 10% in swo. But that would have required additional programlines and a picture. So they just changed a number.
