Tank Balance Achieved?

[Shinkyo]

Snip.

Paladin's utility isn't a DPS enabler, it's a buffer to help smooth out mistakes from the party and potentially overcome what could have snowballed in a wipe.
It's to help keep the fight going when people screw up which can be distracting to other members.

PLD has many ways to help in those situations from party mitigation, single target mitigation, heals, mechanics skip with Hallowed (or 12 sec of free Healer DPS).
These are very useful in a prog setting and early in an raid tier where you're pretty much min iLvl.
I can guarantee you that tackling V4S in i320 ish gear requires as much mitigation as you can get and some aoe damage are borderline a raid wipe without extra raid mitigation from tanks/dps.
But out of the 3 tanks, only PLD has any sort of raid mitigation...

PLD's mitigation will lessen in value as people perfect the mechanics and party ilvl increases. But until then, there's no denying the value of their utility.

WAR/DRK in HW weren't meta because of their DPS, it's because of Delirium / Path / Reprisal... all mitigation skills...

Did you forgot the strengh acc meta? DRK/ WAR was heavily influence because of dps I don't want to hear now out of the sudden pld mitigation utility is what makes them good because they had the same utility on HW divine veil isn't new. Also I'm not saying pld mitigation utility is bad but it hardly is the game changer you and many others are painting it as and it's what it's boiling me, if your party fuck up to a degree that divine vail or clemency will save a pt wipe changes are you are going to wipe 90% of the time, your healers are more than capable and equipped to handle all this situation and again while it helps it's not a raid saver just lessens some of the damage. also I'm not saying other 2 tanks should not have their utility but please stop bringing pld upfront because "utility" PLD right now is up front because it offers the same dmg much easier and it's personal mitigation but not because of it's utility.

also delirium/path were permanent mitigation hardly anything even close to what divine veil is and all tanks now have access to reprisal
