I have more HP in full slaying than a brand new level 60 tank in full fending. Why would that be any harder for my healers to keep me alive?
This thread is so full of false perception, it's crazy. The DPS difference between the tanks is less than 5% from each other. Please stop perpetuating this false animosity. I've never joined any instance as any of the tanks, and been assaulted by my groups. I tank is full slaying 100% of the time on Warrior, Paladin, and Dark Knight. There has never once been any instance of my group complaining about me being on Paladin.

I also tank as both Paladin and Dark Knight in Savage. Savage being the only time this perception COULD POSSIBLY take palace, basically means you are in the top 0.05% of players in the world who are working on content where the DPS check actually could matter. (A3S) Because the first 2 Floors are very easy with Esoteric weapons.
