Paladins also can't just spam Royal Authority if they are MT
Paladin's weren't given Royal Authority and Goring Blade to push them ahead in DPS, they were given them to just try and keep up.

Actually Pld can spam RA if they are MT, weaving in Goring every two rotations, and then use shield swipe to keep them ahead in hate, which is over all a net gain in terms of DPS over RoH. Currently nothing in the game makes or breaks you over 10% str down, more so since we have excessive Physical damage reduction to begin with (which allows us to tank in Sword Oath).

IIRC, if a PLD was in sword oath, which at the end could be used even as MT on everything, they were keeping pretty close to warrior all through out 2.X in DPS terms. We were given RA and GB to keep our DPS aligned, as all jobs were when they were given new DPS options. So I don't know where the "they were given these to try and keep up." is coming from.

Whoops I mean....pld is weak. Give us more options SE oh god....we're so weak.

You also are missing Shield Oath's extra attack.

Not sure if I missed something or if you're just plain out mistaken. But Shield oath doesn't have an extra attack, you mean Sword oath?
