Paladin weakest Tank now

[Satarn]

'This tank jobs does its tanking job really well and also does enough damage to clear content consistently, and handles forced melee downtime much more comfortably than the other tanks is as bad as if there was a job that just died like every minute without a babysitter.'
I'm sorry what?

We've only just got the "content" this week and PLD sits at 8% clear rate for the full tier compared to 24, 29 and 39% of other tanks. Dunno if I'd exactly call that "consistent".

Obviously you can clear with a PLD - just like you could clear with that imaginary glass cannon that dies to raidwides without an extra shield - you'd just need somebody else to pick up the slack, be it via shielding or doing more dps.

It might be an issue however, when the damage difference is big enough that at min ilvl people may hit enrages which they would not see if only they switched their tank - which it seems might've indeed been a concern, given how many parties first-killed without one, despite the fact that the job has great prog tools and has been consistently very popular gameplay-wise since 4.0.

It just seems pretty shitty to dismiss this with "lol, if you wanna do damage, play a DPS". Like, the entire point of the example with raidwides was that just because something isn't a part of the job's primary role, doesn't mean it can't be a balance issue for them, how difficult is that to understand?
