Ideas For a Paladin Rework

[Mithron]

Simple words, wouldn't work current game state. Paladin would become a meme tank overall and never taken in Savage/Ultimate. Having higher def than others doesn't make a bit of difference with player skill, the higher DPS jobs will always take their place. DPS has always been a dominant force in 14, including majority of RPGs.

Players don't want to spend longer time just to play a safe game, when putting effort is a higher reward and safer than making the fights longer.

Would be fine if rDPS was within 1% of each other. So yes, PLD technically lowest rDPS, but not more than 1% against highest rDPS tank.

I would look into aDPS more than rDPS.

Paladin loses hardcore against Drk/Gnb, nothing to use in raid buff window.

Warrior only has a short time raid buff window.

Gnb/Drk have lengths more attacks in raid buff windows they're a league ahead. Majority of players don't capitalize raid buffs and pot timings, it's pretty sad however very optimal.

Yeah I guess aDPS does matter for tanks more. I know PLD is lowest and they should be, but it shouldn't be by much ideally.
