Opinions on WAR and PLD

I suggested the possibility of giving flash a DoT effect (with a 3x modifier on the DoT effect) when used after riot blade, which would also gain a 3x enmity modifier. A 40 potency DoT over 21 seconds (7 ticks) would mean that, assuming you kept it up permanently, you would get a dps increase of 4% and a threat reduction of 6% on a single target, over RoH spam, not an unreasonable trade off in my opinion. However, you would obviously see a significant increase with AoE threat generation.

That's an interesting suggestion, but Paladins do already have Circle of Scorn as an AOE DOT skill. My idea that I've suggested in multiple threads before now would be for the combo skill following Riot Blade to deal magical damage (based on Strength, not Int or anything daft), which consumes MP. You would have it cost more MP than Riot Blade replenishes, so that you would, over time, still run out of MP in the same way that you would TP. You could have it as an AOE attack which generates additional enmity in order to attempt to balance Warriors' Overpower and Steel Cyclone.
