That's really not true. Knights only have 30% more base HP, before accounting for +HP items and +HP buffs. Buffs obviously affect everyone the same, so that lowers the differential, and in Velious people are using pretty much the same +HP items, so that lowers the difference even more. It's really just 12-15% difference in the end, depending on gear.

In the context of a trio with no Cleric, then a Paladin could actually get to that 50% difference because of self HP buffs, but what's the point really? Max HP loses a ton of value without Complete Heal. Monks stop more damage than Knights at their base tanking ability, because they block more attacks. That's more important.
