So I played around some last night in POTD on a paladin, and while I know POTD isn't the best for actual senarios it was pretty fun. I am very grateful for all the feedback and discussion in this thread for sure. Right now I'm still bouncing around the 3 trying to choose.

PLD seems fun and the most straightforward
WAR seems like it could be easy to start but would have a high skill ceiling meaning I would probably always be lower than optimal
DRK is the biggest unknown as it seems like it would be good for AOE, but also has the most to manage with TP and MP management.

Honestly I want to focus on the tanking aspect and would like to play without having to be constantly watching my gauges and taking away attention from keeping aggro. Still kind of PLD 40% WAR 30% DRK 30%.

What would you say is the best "all a rounder"?
