There was nothing wrong with PLD in HW, they were just slightly outclassed by DRKs magic damage reduction and overshadowed by the "awesomeness" of fell cleaves. My static ran PLD/WAR up at least until I quite playing. Not that we were ever top of the charts or anything, but there were still plenty of PLDs in HW just like there are still plenty of WARs out there right now.

And I'm not so sure this is what SE had in mind exactly. Others have mentioned that they might've ran out of time or something, possibly. To me it seems like they have some conflicts on what exactly they want the tank role to be. Like, for example, they seem to have this vendetta against tanks gearing for str but then all the abilities they give us are dps abilities? I just think maybe they are confused themselves and why we got this seemingly half-assed attempt at warrior and even dark knight to an extent. It's rather clear that they wanted to boost paladin up after being the ugly dog of HW, but they shouldn't have nerfed war or drk in that process. So, maybe they ran out of time, maybe they were confused about what they wanted, maybe they just didn't do enough testing. Who knows. I'd like to think they'll fix it, but maybe not. Somebody else mentioned that since they already have stuff in the pipeline for the next few months it could be a while before they are able to make any significant changes.
