How is a DRK doing its maximum damage with its mitigation combos (self-heal or magic down) any less powerful? BB may put out enmity at a lesser penalty, but DRK also has considerably less need to even use its enmity combo. Why the fixation on the pairing of damage and enmity combos specifically, especially given that any skill in the enmity change can be remodded, as can any tank stance?
I can't imagine why mitigation entered a conversation about threat maintenance, but, to answer your question, Warrior never has to do it. Paladin and Dark Knight do. It is explicitly unbalanced/unfair for the situation to exist where one tank literally does not ever have to do something that the other two tanks do while also decreasing the performance of the other two tanks.


You lose something when you do your best combo sets as a Paladin/Dark Knight, and that's bad, dumb, and easily correctable.

To be fair they could also go the other way and just buff RoH/Power Slash to be more potency than their other combos.
