Paladin weakest Tank now

[Absimiliard]

No it is not. You either do sufficient damage, or you do not. That is all there is to it, anything above this, is just first world issues.

If you need optimisation on the damage department, then only because it is suppoest to cover for the fact that either you or someone in your Party, isn't up to the task and cant handle being inside a intense fight for as long as it is necessary.

I'm afraid disagreeing with the way of things does not change them. The reality is that both tanks and healers are expected to do as much damage as possible with the kits they are given, in addition to living up to the other responsibilities of their roles. Everyone carries their weight. That's just how it is.

Tanks in 2.0 was tanks must tank.
Tanks in 3.0, people discovered DPS is better value, all the tanks dropping Tank stance and clearing Savage, etc without issues.

We'd been stance dancing since ARR. The practice became a bit more common in Heavensward, but it was already being utilized at least as early as the first Coils.
