The only time a paladin is inferior as a “group” tank is if the groups goal is to take on some semi difficult raidish named that normally warriors defensive/evasive on. General in Kith for example destroys a paly tank compared to warriors.

If we re talking PUG style dungeon crawl a Paladin is the top of tank food chain as Greame exciting tale hilights how crucial having stuns roots and even an emergency res can be.

If you use a paladin for tank you can likely get away from needing a cleric if you have your other group slots also flexible hybrids like bards ranger and druid even. If you give a paly clarity aka have ench in group he will basically never run out of mana unless hes really pumping heals but its just rather amazing how well they can just handle group content w lulls n roots to split rooms even.

The other great thing about paladin is theyre rare! Server is 10 years old and there is rarely if ever 10 lvl 60 paladins online at same time. Most of the time its like 1-3 ! Embrace it fellow paladins, this poll is an outrage for not listing the answer to the OP Question.
