So why play anything other then paladin?

"had it coming"?

That's not what I meant at all, I meant many of us could see that SE has no ideas on how to rebalance the jobs other than making DRK suck in comparison to PLD. After all, on the defensive side DRK is basically PLD for magic instead of physical (and more buttons in 3.0)

Those of us who play both sort of knew that eventually this would happen, we certainly didn't think it was a good idea, just inevitable because the concept of PLD/DRK is so badly flawed.
