When you try to balance between damage (or anything primary role associated) with everything else the class provides, you'd usually run into problems when it comes to cutting edge progression, much like PLD and (formerly) AST had. SE's stance on paladin is taht its a "defensive" tank, but it sacrifices their damage output and it overly specializes on mitigating physical attacks, rendering them fairly pointless for A4S when the biggest wall was meeting dps checks. Same with AST whom didn't quite fill in the role of healer (or healer dps for that matter) compared to WHM and SCH, while their cards nowhere near made up for it.
