PLD highest DPS tank single target

[Neophyte]

Because all tanks have the same amount of defensive cool downs.

It's not about the ammount. Paladin's CDs are just pop&done. WAR has to manage stacks (= reach V stacks to use Inner Beast for mitigation), has to tankswap often (to utilize Bloodbath best), etc...
WAR has five "Pop&done" CDs: Foresight, Vengeance, Raw Intuition, Covaleszens, Equilibrium.
Even Holmgang needs a bit of planning and only mitigates "overkill" (everything until 1 HP is just normal damage, which needs to be healed).

Paladin got Sheltron, Rampart, Sentinel, Hallowed, Bullwark, Covaleszens, Foresight, Clemency.... and even Flash with the -toHit%, which is pretty nice in dungeons (big pulls). Everything just "Need it? Click it!".
It's just simpler* than stancedancing and utilizing self-heals, which the WAR has to do a lot.


*don't mistake that as 'easier'.
