I hope you realize that padding meters by tanking sacrificial skeletons isn't exactly accurate to DPS jin'do himself. This can be seen if you filter the mobs in Kronos logs; therefore this is inaccurate in potential DPS for paladins.
If the mage actually took the job of AE'ing skeletons, your DPS would have been nullified completely if you killed jin'do on the sacrificial pit.
Evidence is in Kronos logs itself the mage single targeted the entire fight lol.
