Low-End Paladin = OK High-End = not OK

I could go either way with paladins. Recent changes certainly help a lot.

They leave something to be desired as a tank... weakest agro and weakest mitigation, but they add more utility than any other tank.
 
Any one else feel how I do about spam casting spells ? Right now I feel like I only make a good rampage tank because I can mitigate and healmyself. I can spam heals without worrying about losing rampage agro. I don't mind being a lesser main tank but I wouldn't mind having a better nitch then being subpar at all the tanking types. I don't want to settle for being the best rampage tank.

I only see paladins filling the roll of a tank in an undead group. As far as I know decent EXP spots besides Catacombs / Misery.

Is there any way we can trade some of our undead damage for Living DPS/threat. Perhaps Consicrate and sanctify doing 1/2 damage to living targets and full damage to undead? If it wasn't for my TOLL,DS,TmapRing,and Mantle of the forest I would do like 30dps
 
Our paladin Teraptus never has any problems with aggro when he is actively trying to keep it. I mean yes if people are doing 700-800+ dps they might have to jolt but that is on the high side for T8. I make sure I jolt often when he is tanking, and don't spam nukes, but he holds aggro fine otherwise.

It gets worse when all dps do 900-1600

Ofc by that point paladins have runic two which balances things some... but they are still the worst agro/mitigation/dps tank.

Honestly I would like to see them gain mitigation or utility if it is deemed they need more boosts. I like the idea of having different tanks better situationally. Basically as is, SKs are king of agro and warriors are king of mitigation w/ better than pally agro. Both SK/War have better dps than a paladin. Paladins make good offtanks/ramptanks/backup tanks while healing the MT, and doing ghots/lustration. Well geared/skilled paladins can certainly tank almost all on tier content, but they just dont do it as well as sk/war do.
 
Right, I was just commenting that our guild paladin does a good job. I pull aggro off drakie easily too. The only thing that saves me is that I'm far away, when I run in to dp my melee range nuke sometimes I turn the mob and it smacks me a lil till I back out again.
