If Paladin is "specialized in defense" shouldn't its defense be better always?

Why are all your CDs gone? You should use your CDs to mitigate tank busters not random damage. If you properly use your CDs you'll never run out of CDs. Are we even tanking in the same game?

Low potencies? PLD has higher potencies than WAR.

Don't lie. You simply can't have CDs for every single unavoidable buster in fights where they spam it every 20~30 seconds. The only way you'd have a CD late in the fight is if you've been relying on the healers to buffer you instead, had healers carry you though hell(sort of redundant to the last point but I mean it to a more extreme level) and/or you swapped tanks. Or did you even do the final coils and Odin to know that?

I'm just going to ignore you now. :|
