Paladin weakest Tank now

[Weetzlo]

Well, they heard us, we gut 520 more potency added to our abilities! I wonder if that was enough, though.

560 per minute since you can use Expiacion every 30 seconds. On paper and in statics, GNB/DRK still gonna be ahead by nature of having a tighter burst to fit into pots/raidbuffs, but in PF content where you're out here with a SAM, BLM, MCH, DNC, WHM, and SGE it's probably gonna be competitive.

Insane? Buffs are trash, doesn't fix the overall problem. Should be scaling against Drk/Gnb as they're currently the top, Paladin still lacks burst power, and still de-syncs too quickly, plus Atonement got left.

Job needs a lot of help fixing it's overall rotation issue, by the time Blades are up, rip raid buffs they gone.

They mentioned this would be the potency adjustments patch. Expecting anything more than a potency adjustment is, I'm sorry, completely stupid.

[Undeadfire]

If they adjusted Blades slightly, and gave the Atonements a massive boost over Reqs+Holy, it would fix one of the issues.

I like the buffs, but I'm pretty sure this did nothing to rid us of that cursed -16s FoF opener.

From the testing I’ve done seems the buffs are a step in the right direction. Your mileage may very but seems like about a 250 DPS buff overall. All these people losing their minds over “look at how much of a increase PLD is getting” really have no clue. These skills take a long time to come back around and PLD was coming from a huge disadvantage. Overall this is about 150,000 more Damage over the coarse of a 10min fight. PLD and WAR will be fighting over last place.
Undeadfire has made many good points there’s still a lot that can be done. I hope in 6.1 PLD and WAR both get another small boost in the damage department so that the gap between all tank DPS would be around 2-3%. Also hopefully DRK gets a rework. GNB is in a good spot the only thing I would change on them is that Continuation becomes ranged shots... you know like they have a gun, would solve movement issues.
I’m glad we got something for PLD though it’s gonna help I don’t think we have achieved tank balance yet though and in the tank forums I think that’s what we should be truly aiming for. Ideally you should be able to grab any combination of two tanks and get numbers that are 2-3% away from each other, I don’t know if that’s even a goal of the Devs but that’s what I would like to see.

I will say this too, I enjoy the cursed opener. I do like that we have to work harder to produce I’m ok with that.To me it feels better with more gravity on pull.

To clarify, I was just stating overall added potency, not how much is in the rotation, but you are correct, yeah.

DRK deserves a Re-work no doubt.

GNB needs a 6y range on Gnashing Claw/Continuation combos.

Patch 6.08 has been applied and PLD has been strengthened.
However, as before, PLD is still the weakest tank.
To change this, we need to make some adjustments to further increase the PLD's DPS.

Why the nerf to paly tanks? Can square-enix explain that? Now we are a new stress to healers....try to maintain tank palys alive....really i dont understand
