So, after the patch, how goes it with Paladin?

DRK is not very good as OT on this fight though. They provide essentially zero utility since they can't reprisal and the party-wide damage is largely not possible to mitigate with Delirium and not appreciably better DPS than a PLD since you shouldn't take much damage OTing (the charges and comets I suppose). On top of that, the DPS checks are soft and can be survived even if you lack the DPS to meet them fully with Divine Veil and Stoneskin (unless DPS is really terrible, like level 50 terrible, in which case you're doomed anyway).

This is actually another major part of the problem with the tanks. WAR really is designed to OT so it's a poor choice to have any other tank do it even if it's preferable for the WAR to MT. In this case, it's probably most intelligent to have a SwO PLD MT and a WAR OT or use a second WAR to OT.
