Big pulls with Dark Knight.

[Goji1639]

What bugs me is that you keep talking like Paladin gets the emergency sustain of clemency for free with no downside whatsoever, which just isn't true. If you don't use Clemency (which is the ideal scenario, given the dps loss) Paladin has the worst defense out of all the tank jobs. Still enough to survive everything in this game but lower than the other tanks.

You want all the tanks to have emergency sustain like Paladin? Sure, but it would be balanced out by nerfing their general sustain to Paladin levels. Is that really a good change?

I don't see how Paladin has the worst defense outside of Clemency, but I'm glad to finally be getting responses that address the actual topic instead of just pointlessly flexing.

Take Clemency out of the equation and, at least compared to DRK; Paladin still has better passive mitigation, the best Invulnerability in the game (compared to DRK having the worst) and Sheltron you can basically spam with no downside that always lasts it's full duration (while TBN is a potential DPS loss where your shield might get popped in 2 seconds). DRK basically only has TBN, which is obviously great, some very negligible passive self healing and AD which is only really useful on big pulls. I'd say it balances out pretty well. Clemency is basically a bonus.

I'm not as familiar with the other 2 tanking classes, but from what I've gathered GNB is considered to have the worst defense of all the tanks.
