Paladin -- You're doing it wrong

[Furious]

i find your logic to be flawed. damage IS mitigation. first of all your gauge in sword oath builds much faster that shield oath, 2 defensives are tied to having that gauge. also nothing has changed more damage skips mechanics and shortens the fight which results in less chance of a wipe and less healing needed. if you have a ninja in your group all you need is one roh combo then you should be in sword oath for the remainder if the fight. shrk has gaurenteed you will never need another roh. also pld is doing amazing in the dps department almost putting uo 3000 dps, if you sit in shield and play defensivly at the cost of that kind of dps you are hindering your raid. so no guys, super defensive is not the key to playing pld.

I can somewhat get this in an 8 man, shirk can feed you threat all day. Are paladins really doing 4 man dungeons in sword oath? I have no freaking clue how you can hold threat from a top tier dps efficiently as a paladin sitting in sword oath in a 4man, let alone the gains of your dps being offset by the healing increase from the healer...

Maybe its something that starts working at 70 when you start getting geared up? In leveling dungeons, every experience I have with switching to sword oath basically means me using (many) more rage of halone, getting a moderate dps increase, and the healer having to actually heal..

no 4 man content is a whole other thing, i was talking about 8 man content only. if your running around in a dungeon in sword oath the whole time then there is a 99.9% chance that you aren't tanking shit, mobs are probably running everywhere and people are probably dying :/

I had issues with aggro for like the first day. But that was going from a year of being fully geared and melded which a lot of people in the duty finder don't do I notice. Suddenly everyone is the same ilevel and Samurais hit like freight trains. After a bit of tightening up, its fine now.
