Not finding DRK squishy at all.

[Ditto]

It's not the stance really that's a problem, it's that Paladins just overall mitigate more due to their shield, and they have a wider range of effective cd's they can use. Ones that are simply just more effective than Drks. Not only this, but they can Parry as well, they have 2 passive mitigations going at once, all the time. One of which can block up to 40% or more of the incoming damage when it procs.

Drk's are literally Paladins without a shield, with less utility and mitigation. The Mitigation and the utility they have now is what makes a Paladin a Paladin though.

Take all of that away and you have a really squishy knight swinging around a single sword. You'll notice it far more at 60, in places like the new EX's.

Everything can be done by them just like a Warrior or a Paladin, just at a higher cost, and more chances of being rejected because at the moment, the new kit Warriors and Paladins got make them insane in their roles. Hell people are taking Warrior MT's nowadays over Pld's, and are having the Pld as OT.
