Savage Alexander and the Paladin Exodus

[Kyne_Lyons]

Like I said, the purpose of this thread isn't to trot out my personal ideas on how to the fix the class. It's to highlight the balance issue that is present, and forcing groups progressing on A4S to drop Paladin entirely in order to clear the fight. I could stay Paladin, sure, but then I'd be making my raid group wait the better part of a month to get the gear to make up for the fact that I picked to play Paladin. It's unfair to me as a player who loves Paladin to have to switch, but it'd be even worse to force my group to suffer me playing the job.

Tank balance is a huge issue right now, but nobody clearing the content as Paladin is ever willing to talk about it until they get to A4S, which is the purpose of this thread. The most demoralizing thing is that I can switch to a Dark Knight, a job I have no Esoteric gear for, and get better performance on this encounter in every single metric. It's heartbreaking.
