Rampart doesn't do the whole job. Even tho rampart for a warrior only effects itself, it still produces more agro, then antagonize + SC with or without combo will do better than a paladins party rampart and flash, because SW can only hit one thing. I have had the fun of tring to test out both paladin and warrior at 50 in natalan, since I really wanted to see if paladin could truely hold the hate against multiples. Rampart didn't save anyone then.
    I have seen many a times in similarity where a fully geared WAR popping Antagonise, Sentinel, Mighty Strikes and SC only holds hate for 1 BLM nuke or 1 DRG combo after sisters pop. Besides, a smart PLD switches target to Suparna and does a SW to drop her faster.

    In that situation - Hallowed Ground. The end.

    As for Natalan - It is WAR's domain simply because they have AoE damage and have a little more survivability then DRG's, don't need to hold hate for long (mobs die in a few seconds due to BLM's/DRG's). Hence my comment - that isn't really tanking, that is trash burning, (Crowd control / killing an area of mobs) not flat out tanking.
