it absolutely should, but that would still leave paladin on the sidelines until something is introduced that hits harder and is much more dangerous.

however, people are primarily complaining that paladin isn't wanted over warrior for anything *right now*, and the reduced damage fix won't change that.
True .

I just think even if it's not the bees-knees now, it should have a role, that's all. Even if this doesn't fix all the problems, it's something developers should do and take note of. Anyway, servers are up in 30 mins guys, then we can all stop arguing and go kill Doblyns like good FFXIV players.
