Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

The ideal we're aiming for is that all of the three have at least roughly equal usefulness in different scenarios. Frankly, drk/war being better for farm and pld/not pld for prog would be perfectly fine, but as it stands it's just pld/not pld in both cases. Both Warrior and Dark Knight need to bring something that Paladin does not have.

Except really, unless you play all 3 to exactly the same capacity (which is near impossible btw) you will do more in the job you play better on, because of how close they are at this point in time. A 90th Percentile Drk will beat a 80th Percentile Pld or War.
Fun and Skill >>>>> Job power
That's how this game was designed and how it exists for all jobs.

Pld would be excluded and only useful for prog

One tank is always left out.

Why does DRK have to be the red-headed stepchild that's only ever optimal when one of the alternatives isn't?

I don't want to feel inferior just because I play what I enjoy.
And no, it's not nearly impossible. I do it just fine.
