Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

[Jybril]

We have a Salty War that lacks in DPS output so OP blames Another class for their short comings?

Well, it's true. WAR's have always been the "DPS" of the tanks to make up for their low defense, DRK was middle-man.
PLD topples over both while it was originally the "Defensive" tank. They just need to up those two tanks.

I understand that... Seeing that I'm also Lvling my PLD to 70 myself I personally like its new changes. But this OP has nerve to come on here and QQ about nerfing a job that has nothing to with him/her playing the current job is pointless. My FC has members with WAR, DRK, PLD maxed out and not once I have seen them QQ about nerfing another job in favor over another. They know how to play their jobs and besuccessful at it. This thread OP started is just about WAR having title and losing it. So in the end of the day it's just about entitlement nothing more nothing less.

thats bull, they always compensated that 1:1 with more max hp and more heal obtained. On top of that they have a 20% cd every few seconds which makes them more viable maintanks than paladins are

did I mention that they can insta switch stances? pala always loses gcds for that

Lets be honest, it makes no sense that a class who wears a shield and a toothpick deals more damage than classes with a big ass axe or a huge sword.

So what about knives ? Or Fisticuffs ?

With the way encounters are designed, there is no "low defense" to make up for.

Alright, lets nerf PLD's damage output through the floor. However! The trade off is that PLD's defense and healing are boosted to the point that a PLD and 3 DPS can easily clear a 4 person dungeon. Or a PLD, 0-1 healer, and 6-7 DPS can handle 8 person raids.

I still think you need content designed for two tanks. But 2 tanks, 1 healer and 5 DPS should be an option if you have the "king of mitigation" in your setup. But, PLD should have the option to trade the right amount of damage for the right amount of defense, for when you end in a usual 2-2-4 setup where the increased defense is not needed. For example, imagine if the PLD could Block on GCD. Sure, it can allow you to have a permanent -20ish% damage reduction, but at the cost of most of your DPS. So you'd have to chose how many GCD you sacrifice for mitigation.
