Anyone that says a 36 paladin can tank better or equal to a 36 dread knights is in for a rude awakening.
They can hold agro far easier, and take far less damage. I could state this from personal experience alone, there is a reason why when I group with my guild's DK he is always the main tank. (and no it is not because I am imcompetent) If after viewing the skill lists you still disagree I guess I will go into more depth..
Ellestil, my paladin is a dwarf, I play my stats Con=Str>dex. Pre-emptively I must say that my views are based on fighting 5dot+ mobs (CiS/Pantheon mostly). Your play style does appear maximize your hate output, and is exactly how I used to play, until I realized that I was generating more hate by using pure damage save smite/crit hate. Do you have alot of experience fighting hard bosses 5dot+? (not meant to be condescending, I'm really wondering) If so what is your typical group set up?
Zanos your points in general are not well thought out at all... For one Zeal costs 5 points, and lasts 2 minutes. At my level thats 6 minutes per hour of double damage (with none left for emergency). It's not effective at all for an agro holding technique.(Maybe you should look into this more m8 ) You seem to put alot of your opinion on me not being able to rescue fast enough, when the main stated scenario was for the rescue to be resisted, perhaps you should read more carefully.....................?
Niteflyx, You are wrong, defensive fighters are not equal in this regard. I can prove this with simply mentioning seething hate....... (I refute you without having to make sarcastic comment involving ass)
While writing this the idea came upon me that how defensive a tank is, is inversely(?) related to keeping hate. The less damage you take, the less the cleric has to heal, so the less hate the cleric generates.
Yes vlad, asking to be able to hold agro on par with DKs is taking a mile :roll:
edit* zanos please post why pallies are better MT's than DK's (in detail) , if you do not convince me I will reply with why I think DK's are better MT's than pallies (in detail) .
