How do these changes fix the issues with Paladin?

[rawker]

Since shield swiping will likely still require a successful block (reprisal is drk's equivalent with parry and is also an "Ability"), it'll be a small upgrade for a main tank paladin on a boss that uses physical damage. As offtank, it won't do anything. Person that said it was a 70dps increase is assuming you can use it immediately every 15 seconds, but they didn't say it won't require a successful block to trigger it.

10 tp off goring blade is not going to be noticed. The shield bash change is nice for people doing A4S probably?

Cute. :P I switched to back to PLD about a month ago, though. I was main PLD back when t5 was still relevant content.

Oh, it will be.

The TP decrease on GB drops the TP drain to 110 meaning that Paladins will last about 9% longer before they run out of TP.

That means we'll last 3 minutes instead of 2:45 on stationary targets that have no downtime. Super exciting? A DRK not using grit lasts about 3:30 and warrior lasts until its hands fall off. I don't know how that translates to A3S/A4S since my static imploded like most did, but obviously you'll last longer on fights where you have some downtime even without the change.
