Paladin - Possible upgrades - Patches/Suggestions

Button Compression - this is very touchy subject for a lot paladin players. but let me explain it. basically turns your combo's into 1-1-1 instead of 1-2-3 compressing combo's into single button. however this is 50/50 thing were there players don't love this idea some they think this is good idea.

My suggestion is the give the players the opinion to compress there combo's or not without using so makes all players happy not just one group.

reason why this is brought up now. we have a 4 button combo added to paladins level 80 ability. paladins rotation becoming quite beefy almost like 1 min rotation. game comfortability should be important factor when adding new skills and abilities.

New Additional Effects - Flash - Flash- effect triggers every time to use attack requires use of your shield. its aoe that places 30 second blind. this makes it so 30% of all auto attacks made. has a chance to miss doesn't really effect abilities adds 10 seconds to the

New Shield Skill

We still don't know how is the new combo is actually implemented, PLD is the tank with the most amount of skill in the hotbar so the 2 most popular theories are the new combo replace goring blade combo after using confiteor or basically will be a confiteor 4 uses spam after the 4 holy spirits.

Some are worried that atonement has been removed and something happen to royal authority combo with could be if they planed to make space for the new 3 skills but i consider one of the first 2 options way more easy to happen, i consider way better if they replace goring blade combo and make it a super goring blade combo so it doesn't break PLD kit flow and make it an unbearable spam fest of 2 buttons every time requiencast come.

I do hope so. as cool as that ability looks new rotation like that would break paladin for some players. they didnt talk about any remove ability if its 3 additional buttons ill have worry about having 1-4 buttons with 3 complete combo's and paladin having 1-2 min rotation. now i sure some may enjoy super button heavy rotation. never thought it be on a tank

The thing if it replaces goring is that it doesn't change the rotation at all and just adds visual effects to it.
It would be fine for me, because I think the current PLD rotation is really nice. But I think they probably changed some things here and there, as they always do...

I just want nostalgic feeling of using flash again without it being whole new ability. believe it or not there some people actually like flash. shield bash is kind trumped by low blow at the moment. honestly whole stun thing seem pointless cause you can never truely use stun when you truly want too or when has any real effect unless your fighting trash. very little monsters in the game that aren't immune to stun. shield lob having flash attached to it actually pretty good idea. basically throw your shield it flashes on impact. blinding all targets giving shield lob some bloody depth . Shelton being a shield skill i also see this being useful. back to the stun status problem

Problem is stun should be used on bosses. not saying it should be used on all there attacks but they could add 1 ability that bosses use that can and should be stunned or interjected



Blind is not really a powerful effect. its only been somewhat useful only on paladin
