It's a completely different subject.
The Paladin rant was about problems encountered, mostly in the Synergy structuring being somewhat incomplete, due to an apparent lack of planning and foresight in some areas.
This thread is about monster problems in the area that certain combinations of monster abilities are still ridiculous to play against eg. 1.09 Stygian Dolls in high player count games. The fact that a Paladin was involved is incidental. It could just as easily have been a melee Sorceress or PD Necro or any number of moderate vitality frontline builds.
To re-state the case presented, since you've apparently mistaken the message entirely <_< , the new Tree Hulk problem results from an excessively high damage output on a skill that now has them dishing out attacks at a rate that can't be compensated for by a number of builds.
And other monsters exhibit similar annoyance value fast kill elements too.
Do you understand yet? :huh:
