u cant do that , since all the def stances lower dmg , u can however make Royal A. buff paladin dmg similar to Maim, and changin sheltron in Sword Oath so it buffs dmg somehow so its usefull even as OT.

Patch notes say reduced TP on Goring Blade and now Shield Swipe is off GCD, 150 potency and 15s. Congratulations, there's your DPS and TP fixes. Happy now?

Oh Wow. Paladins got a HUGE buff.

Potency has been reduced from 210 to 150.

Well, this will help with damage and enmity generation while tanking. That is actually a really big buff.

With the TP Reduction as well means you can keep going. Goring Blade will be amazing now in full strength gear.

I don't see why people don't use it more often, its one of the most powerful moves in the game. Sure you can't spam it but its worth sticking it on every target.

LOL good thing I quit my paladin, If they kept the potency as it was, it would have helped alot. 210 down to 150, thatss a BIIG damage nerf to it for such a minor threat move, I feel they don't know what to do with paladin for this xpac,

TP reduction for goring blade, k, lower the damage of shield swipe, not ok. paladin are already low on the dps totem poll, and I mean LOWEST of the low. nerfing damage should be the *last* thing they should be doing.

It has no GCD anymore and can no longer interrupt your combos. It is literally free threat + damage.

Paladins got two buffs from Shield Swipe:
1. Literally Free Damage and Threat.
2. No longer breaks your combo chains.
