Please fix the paladins threat

drolger0612

After you get done nerfing us again. Please fix our threat generation problems and fix the tank pet problem. Now that the Paladin is half the tank it used to be at least give us the ability to Die With Honor and actually generate some threat. And for the love of God don't just Nerf the tank companions actually fix the threat generation for the paladins.

@drolger0612 Can you mentioned specifics or circumstances, I m curious.

Since the latest release I am able to keep agro and generate threats much better. Dependent on my encounters/class features that allow me to do so.

Used to be I loose agro of Demongorgon to pets or other classes, now Demongorgon stick to me forever once I keep applying Relentless to him.

Dragons a single tank companion can cause the dragons to spin. On mdemo if a healadin uses vow on demo to keep the tank alive I loose treat.

Defender companions have stupid amounts of aggro and even my GF sometimes has issues outaggroing a Yeti and a Dancing Shield.

My advice for dealing with the defender pets is to simply find the defender pet and stand next to it, so that way, you can sort of control where the bosses are facing.

Seem like your specifics are in environments where multiple sources of competing agro/threat. This will certainly hinder your ability to tank/agro/threat.

When I am in this kind of sistuation, I use relentless to keep agro and never use Sanctuary if possible. Of course it happen sometimes when I do loose agro but I can get it back easily.

They have indeed enabled you to die with honor - go into any decent mob or boss and hit BO whilst having no temp health

Please fix paladins in general or amend the game as paladins are the least useful class broadly across end game. I.e post lvl 70.

I see many teams that are looking for a tank (actually, I think the tank is the hardest spot to fill in a party).
A Tankadin is a tank and does its job if you know what you're doing. While it may not be as "amazing" as a GF, I would gladly take a Tankadin as the team's tank, as I know my squishy glass cannons won't survive without someone taunting the bosses.

Healadin on the other hand... you're on to something there.

Unless they changed it post mod4, defender companions with taunts are hard coded to grab aggro regardless of any other threat calculations.

Yep, which is why a Pally shouldn't run with one imo. You can get defence oriented companions that don't grab aggro, e.g. Angel of Protection but always check their powers before buying.

If someone else is running one then you'll need to follow rjc's advice and stand next to the companion.

Speaking for my Pally tank i think overall its pretty much as good as before, just swap different encounters about a bit depending on the situation.

OP can still tank like a boss, just dont rely on BO to do all the work, its still good tho i think as a dps/agro utility, just not as much survivability which tbh you shouldnt need any extra.
