Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[fusional]

That is 3 content where PLD shines and only on the bosses, but for everything else, WAR.

so when paladin shines on anything with a modicum of difficulty, and warrior is in actuality only used more for easier content- how is this really an argument against paladin? in pre-abyssea FFXI warriors and sams and monks tanked easy stuff all the time.

in virtually any MMO, whenever you have content that doesn't require a lot of healing people will try to get away with using fewer and fewer defensively-tuned classes to squeeze in more dps for faster kills. that's life.

you guys can't see the forest for the trees.

the problem isn't paladin, it's a lack of content which favors or requires it. (ie: challenging stuff)

I agree with your last sentence but, you're not seeing the big picture. PLD main and only role is tanking. In my opinion even if its the most easiest to hardest of things, PLD should be first choice for any situation. It is clearly not like that.
