As a newer player, I'm only 60 on my Paladin, and I'm 52 on my DRK, I'm wondering if there are any benefits to the other 2 tanks? It just seems like Paladin does everything they do, except better.

When I started the game I figured it would be like:

Paladin: Has the highest defense, and can heal themselves with white magic, but has very little offence.

Dark Knight: Has Medium defense, Does a good amount of damage with both physical and blm, and can heal decently through leaches.

Warrior: Has the lowest defense, but by far the highest offence. Doesn't have much in means of heals, but makes up for it by making clears faster with their superior dps.

What I got: Every tank feels basically the same, except paladin does it all better with an easier rotation.


Maybe I'm seeing things wrong and can be enlightened, but what do you guys think? Is there any reason to play any tank other than PLD?
