thats why PLD need more enmity generation than WAR, but not from damage

But another issue arises altogether, they can give us all the enmity boosts they want but once that hate cap is reached your doing little more than taking the blows for the group. Which is fine and all, but if you can't generate more hate, and your not really doing a fraction of the damage the DD's are, everyone else can easily catch up and cap hate then things get messy. So the mob isn't dead, hate is bouncing around, and your not even taking blows what else is there for you to do really? At least with a little damage boost to our weapons it would help with enmity generation, make our damage at least a little less pathetic, contribute more to taking out the mob before hate cap is reached, and help avoid such a scenario when/if they give us that challenging content people have been begging for.

In a normal party setting, how often is the hate cap reached? I'd vote to remove the cap.... but even with it in, it's a theoretical limitation

ooooo you just got told son

I just want to play a class where i wont get booted because i'm playing what i want to play and what I play actually does my job. hopefully time i manage a 50 paladin the class will be useful.
