Xeno believes paladin should NEVER be main tank

[Hayward]

Summary: "Make PLD and DRK overpowered killing machines that cannot be killed in raids so I can be like some nobody on Twitch who obviously doesn't care about the fundamentals of tanking."

Perhaps SE should start adjusting every enemy to make these wannabe DPS think about defense a lot more than they do now.

Tanks are already rotating their defense cooldowns though. It ain't like they can get more defensive unless you mean having more incentive to stay in their tanking stance?

For that, you don't need to change anything about defense.
You could simply reduce the enmity on their single target weapon skills...which would actually be nice for all those PLD OT in lvl50 content.

I agree that the reliance on parry to proc reprisal is unfortunate. That said if a boss is immune to blind then DADD is not worth the MP drain IMO.

I must thank the topic though. Looked at Xeno's vids with one of them showing Bahamut Prime which showcases necessity for the HG's and LD with the Deathflare spam. Not enough of that I would say.
