To be fair, I lost my train of thought halfway through that post and just rambled for the second half of it.

The point I was making is:
"If you are going to pick up Dark Knight and then play it like a Paladin (ie. Ignore the base mechanics of the Job as many DF'ers like to do), you'll be hot garbage. If you instead pick up Paladin and play similarly (ie. press buttons and use combos), you'll be respectable in your role."

That doesn't make one better or worse than the other. It was mainly because the whole notion that "PLD is boring other tanks are fun" needs to die. It's inaccurate rubbish spread by people who believe "active dps" = "enjoyable game design" without thinking of multiple viewpoints. When someone is asking "which tank should I play?" you shouldn't respond by saying "PLD is boring, DRK is fun, HOWEVER..." you should posit facts about each Job gleaned from your personal experience playing them and then let the OP or the reader decide which one they prefer after reading said logical discussion of the perceived pros and cons of a list.

Coloring the argument out the jump by applying a negative adjective to one and a positive to another is an improper way to attempt at giving an unbiased opinion of two different Jobs.
