Xeno believes paladin should NEVER be main tank

[Gameplayzero]

Xeno's cool and he's got a lot of XIV knowledge, but you shouldn't take anyone's word as gospel. Form your own opinions, decide for yourself.

I think PLD having more raid-wide mitigation is a 10/10 idea, it's one I originally brought up long ago before 3.0 - I thought they'd make PLD more focused on it's utility, which they kinda did in DV... but then they just gave it 2 more combos... and Clemency... At least it got Sheltron I guess. Ah well, maybe things will be better in 4.0.

I just want to make it clear that I pulled Xeno into this not because I was like "omg he is the best warrior ever". I brought him into this because he is a well known tank but mostly because he said the subject of this debate lol. That's basically it.

issue I have with just giving paladin more "mitigation" basrd utility is that the meta is so focused on pushing to the limit that I think mitigation utility is a waste if fights are going to be like how they are now. And always assume im talking from a min/max standpoint. Yeah min/maxers will always play by the skin of their teeth, but over mitigation will just further the gap imo. If they tailor fights to compensate then that's just bad design and I hope they don't do that. Not that you mentioned that, but I'm just rambling and it has been said already.
