Sorry for the clickbaiting title there (;

In the two tank balance threads on this forum, I have read a lot of arguments about PLDs currently cemented position in any raid, with people arguing that PLD is preferred because of his damage AND utility, and others claiming that the utility is just "toys", and nothing really worth arguing about.

So, this is a thought experiment for us all. What do you think would happen if we kept the game as it currently is - except that we remove all paladin utility except for Intervention. Lets remove Cover, Divine Veil, Clemency and Passage of Arms from the skillset of the PLD. Do you think that would change the current Meta? PLD players, how would you feel about this proposal to make all tanks truly equally strong in possibilities?

Please bear in mind that I am not asking for Square to remove those skills from the game - this is merely food for thought and a base for discussion.

Honestly, I believe that if we were to remove the Utility, we would see an equal amount of all kinds of tank combinations in this game, as it would make no difference anymore which class is in the MT and which in the OT spot of a group.
