Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

Why does DRK have to be the red-headed stepchild thats only ever optimal when one of the alternatives isnt?

Because thats how logic works? You can change DRK to any tank and it's the exact same. When one of three tanks isn't optimal in a two tank party, you take the other two.

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

Well done, youre a special snowflake.
In my various snoopings around it shows you perform best on DRK, and I would guess you are most comfortable on also. Therefore, you would be doing more DPS on DRK than you would on PLD most of the time. The only person making you feel inferior is yourself.
