Well , I would respectfully disagree for difficult content . Consider something like mythic 1015 Maw . If I ' m on my paladin tank I HAVE to closely monitoring boss ability timers , so when the boss casts something like Dark Slash I can have a defensive up , usually SotR . Without strictly monitoring boss ability timers , the Dark Slash will hit for a few million and my paladin will die instantly . Helya ' s spear thing , Hymdall ' s Horn , tons of bosses these days have a hard hitting spell or ability . However , if I ' m on my Druid tank I don ' t really have to watch anything . If I forget about something , then it does a few million and I ' m still at 50 % health . On difficult content the paladin rotation becomes more complex than most , because you have to know exactly what dmg is coming and when it is coming so you can perfectly line up your defensive abilities with the incoming damage .
