Xeno believes paladin should NEVER be main tank

[Gameplayzero]

Secondly, in old, good 2.0 content we had PLD and MRD. MRD, with buffs like Raging strikes and Blood for Blood was doing as 5th dps with ability to provoke, i.e, Ramuh, to switch tanks.
Dunno how BCoB or SCoB, but in FCoB PLD was always MT, becuase of the shitty dmg (compared to WAR's raw, tankless stance dmg output). It was so shitty, that actually there was no point in wasting WAR potential to deal additional dmg.

wait what. I thought paladin wass MT for other reasons. Someone already mentioned why in this thread (with warrior being bad and the stigma carrying on even until the buffs). I heard paladin was close or better in OT dps than warrior with slashing debuff for 2.0 content. Where I heard this from wasn't from reliable sources so that's why I'm hesistant. All I know is that war had no dps stance vs SwO.


as you can tell I wasn't huge on 2.0 raiding. I played the game when it came out for a bit but took a long break and warrior'd casually before World of Darkness was a thing. I hardly played back then. So I'm all up for corrections.

also just putting Xeno as "good" is a mislabel imo. I sound like I'm bandwagoning but anyone can be a good warrior. Especially since he tries to push his War in all of the raids he can and has cleared plenty of raids. He has added some extra data and debate to game so idk if that's all you can consider him as, but please don't blow this part of the post out of proportion lol. Again I'm not fanroeing. I respect his warrior guide as it helped be back then, his knowledge, and he can be silly but I mainly use him to learn new things lol. Same with dervyy and a few other of the bigger known players.
