The Problem with Paladin

[Vanguard319]

Personally, I've had few problems with paladin, my advice as far as block rate is to go with a smaller shield. (ul'dahn hoplon and Lominsan lantern shield both have excellent block rates and decent enough defense for tank use) Kites and Scutums may absorb a ton of damage, but they also are heavy and have low block rates. It was like that in XI too.

As far as recovering MP goes, I think that was the intent, so that people would actually make use of items more frequently instead of just relying on thier skills.
