Nice objective and constructive thread.

I would like to point out that it feels best when SE would balance all jobs, tanks in this case, through "upgrades". That said, there are some very useful changes given by the community. Maybe you can edit your thread and write the most popular, objective changes underneath the reapective tank:
(
Paladin
X changes

Dark Knigt
X changes
)

I do find it a bit misleading how you and others claim Xeno and Layla called very specific things overpowered. The both agree that WAR (and SCH I think they agreed on) are just very well balanced compared to other jobs and that of course equilibrium's CD, especially for Defiance's use (insane self heal), is too short.
