yea one which requires a middle man to proc and the other that requires positioning and channeling if needed for prolonged usage such as J-waves at the end of P3 of TEA. Sorry mate but your inccorect about drawback and buffs, but then again you tend to bash on paladin at every turn, so your point has less merit.

Paladin has to generate gauge to make use of half of its utility compared to the other tank that have it right out the gate. WAR, DRK and GNB all have an extra personal cooldown compared to paladin, in exchange for Passage of Arms, so it balances itself out. In terms of self sustain, paladin has to sacrifice dps to make use of it, compared to the other three that do it passively, all the while they benefit from their own AoE mitigation, this is the only thing that isn't balanced.
