Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[Ladon]

Endgame the roles felt fine to me. You could go with either in most fights then there were a couple fights where you'd want to go either Warrior or Paladin. That is almost an ideal situation for two classes competing for party roles.

The biggest issue for Paladins were EXP parties but this is sort of a perpetual issue with pretty much every MMO ever made where you have a defensive and offensive tank classes. Offense wins in EXP parties, period.

It's even worse when you get into Steel Cyclone levels. Paladins are completely useless compared to Warriors with SC. So the main thing that Paladins need here is some actual AE damage. The return of Circle Slash would be nice; something that is close to damage to Steel Cyclone but doesn't offer any additional effects.

now this i can completely understand. i did most of my exp groups with the same group of people so they didn't care what class you were, but i can really imagine how getting into a random exp party of a pld would have been a pita.
