Why PLD is not balanced.

[Falar]

What I didn't expect was for them to not only make PLD better but to completely burn the other two tanks into the ground.

I couldn't care less what the "meta players" are doing. I am not one of them and they are an extreme minority of the gamer population. I hate when things that they do negatively impacts the rest of us.

I just don't know why SE did so much damage to the core DRK abilities.

snip.

Not sure how "meta" players caused this to happen, this is all SE. If anything we showed them that war and drk were in great spots at the end of hw and paladin just needed some help. So instead of just keeping war and darks strengths in tact and bringing pld up to par, they completely flipped it on us lol. HW DRK was honestly the most fun and rewarding tank class ive played in any mmo, now its a shell of its former self. And a lot of it was just because of the raid design, most of the tank busters were magical so it favored drk MT over pld, put this current iteration of 4.0 pld in hw and we would have had perfect tank balance. Ive got all 3 leveled to 70 and see no reason to run anything other than my PLD come omega savage time, even though its the least enjoyable tank for me. War is useless and darks only niche now is being the pull tank

That was to the guy defending the current state of tanks by saying we (DRK and WAR) are just mad that PLD is the new "meta".

Oh, well people with that mentality I just write off. I am a tank main not a drk/war/pld main so I guess I see it as we should all be upset that the tanks arent balanced. It kills diversity and enjoyment of the role. And honestly players like that are usually the paladins you see sitting in shield oath the entire fight, never optimizing their cds or rotation and end up getting out performed by good wars and drks anyway despite their nerfs lol so the meta doesnt even apply to them. But hey theyre paladin only mains, they picked the most braindead and easy to play tank for a reason, they couldnt survive the complexity of drk MTing and risk reward playstyle to optimize dps so they press 1-2-3 in shield oath and call it a day
