are you joking? tell me are you joking, this game is 3 years old now, 3 damm years old, and PLD was the same this 3 years old and have 0 issues in the tank role, being expert in a type of mitigation make this mess? no man, DPS make this mess the moment when the WAR dps dealt 200-300 compared to a paladin make this mess, paladin was not take apart for raider for being defensive or have situational skills, they get apart for only for DPS, PLD have a lot of utility, agro is not a problem and all tanks can survive every content regarless they mitigation specialitation, the only think that kill tank balance is the DPS and the DPS meta.

and PLD + DRK are not a terrible tanking comp, the problem is no matter what WAR+whatever is better comp in any field bcs WAR is damm over in utility ergo personal dps, raid mitigation and raid overall dps, we say it all this time, devs say it too, yoshida himself say it, desing of the job dont matter at all, they can put sole survivor pvp effect on DRK and you get you utility in the job.

if you want cohesion, logic and practicality, you dont lock half of you skill set old days usefull now very situational behind a stance you and many WAR here avoid like cancer and try to find any way to dont use it never outside the opener.
