Possible Paladin Rework...

[FallenWings]

Thank you SE for possibly making Paladin probably actually versatile and fun during AoE tanking.

(No sarcasm, I am very excited for the patch and excited to how versatile i can be while tanking multiple mobs as Paladin. I absolutely hated spamming flash over and over and over and over.)

I'm sorry to say that you really won't be tanking a group of mobs any differently than you were before. It'll just be easier to do so the same way as always. Which is flash spam and circle of scorn here and there. If anything, the new Circle of Scorn buff would make ST aggro much, much better.

You might not be, but i will be. I dont spam AoE attacks non stop on each mob (which is why i'm glad SE is making the change because i hated "having" to do it as pld, and even then i'd get away with not doing it as much as possible.)

I target the mob with which i have the least threat after a few AoE moves then start my single target. I also try to debuff mobs with the most HP so they dont deal as much damage to me if possible.

Not sure why they would buff those abilities now but hey I am not complaining. Also I agree with Fallen Wings, this will change nothing of how I tank or play in general.
