In effect, warrior is 2/2 with their primary stat, and paladin is 0/2. I understand MND increase enimity with ONE combo (flat) and maybe let's you do 5 damage to the boss you're fight instead of 4, but that just isnt enough.

MND does not increase amount healed on paladin (proven), it also does not effect enmity on phalnex/spirits combo, flash, provoke, or war drum.

STR on a turtle style tank as primary stat is a joke for obvious reasons.

Never mind the skills and DPS that help warrior shine, paladin is obviously at a huge disadvantage from go.

That is just my logical take on it.
Ummm, PLD's stats are MND and VIT..... not sure where you got str, and dext dose little if anything for your block rate, not that block rate needs much improvment anymore. Maybe a little deeper investigation into the job itself and you will better understand PLD and why its not realy broken, just a misuse of stats by the player base.
