Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

And yes Quatre Paladins where great in the right situations. But as you say yourself there are occasions when Warriors are just better. Paladins are -only- good at tanking, and when their only good trait is flawed you've got a problem. Paladins should be able to evolve to the situation not the situation catered to Paladins.

Yes Paladins are good end game for some bosses, but there are too many events they are not. Your damage is ok... but.. meh.. I'll use aoe dps over here instead.

Exactly, even leveling Paladin was a pain compared to other classes unless you had your guild to help. Random grinding parties will take only one gladiator most of the time, at the 40+ parties; it was a maybe in my server since they all just wanted to go and aoe wolfs at the beast camp and prefer fast killing and aoes.

Lol yea, warrior was even more preferred in grind parties, because warrior can put hurt on all the mobs, and tank them at the same time. All paladin could do was AFK or backup heal. Maybe throw in a cover here and there (all I did). They certainly cant stance change to do damage when not tanking :/

Almost every Paladin I ever talked to was powerleveled. Every paladin that talked about leveling (not powerleveled) said it was the most painful class to level, whm was easier to level solo.

I think just making Paladin have more damage abilities that relate to tanking or helping the party (like cover) and making warrior stay relatively about being rampaging (sort of how it is already) then we can have two tank classes both desirable for but play in different ways.

Like my zealous vigor example on the other page would work well solo, cast your defense spell then cast zealous vigor get a bunch of hate running through a camp shinning and then after loading up all the dps retribute their ass
