Paladin weakest Tank now

[HisShadowX]

Paladin has the most robust kit in terms of utility, self-sustain, and mitigation. This in turn allows your healers to output more dps on your behalf, which is why things are balanced this way. You've already had two expansions as hands down the most dominant tank, heaven forbid that you're not the best tank at everything.

So this is the biggest problem with the class as of right now. Healers not healing and expecting the Paladin to heal. I have had battles where healers refuse to use a healing spell except Raise when you die as a Paladin because they were to busy DPSing the entire time.

As a Master of all the Tank class except Warrior the Dark Knight is technically should DPS more and I feel the only reason why its a tank class was because they wanted more people to play as a Tank which is true. Same with Gunbreaker they got the cool classes as Tanks so more people would tank.

Paladin, however has always been a Tank whether it's in FFXIV or elsewhere. Paladin's having more DPS or focusing on DPS doesn't make sense to me since they are technically a tank class.

But because Gunbreakers and Dark Knights have been historically a DPS Job over tanking its understandable why they can damage more and you got to remember these classes have to appeal to the people who want a DPS tank.

Sort of like how the DPS Healers who have been whining for years who hate to Heal first they almost got the Bard but they knew they would piss everyone off so they made the Sage which has made the Healer DPS community happy but pissed off all DPS and Tank classes because they are horrible healers.
