It seems to me that the only way they can make tanks like Beta!Zero and Paladin viable would be to change the way damage is calculated. Make defence worth so much more than it is now (IIRC, it was approximately 1 DEF = -0.5 damage, right?), and while they're at it they should make accuracy and avoidability significant factors in calculating hit rate again, though probably not to as large an extent as pre-BBP so as to not screw over non-DEX/LUK classes.
