How do these changes fix the issues with Paladin?

Ready for a sick segueway?

For similar reasons to why a DRK Gritless MT DRK's DPS is so high, now a SwO PLD MTing may now be able to do some very competitive DPS now with both benefits from SwO on top of Shield Swipe procs. I dunno if it'll come close to their WAR or DRK OT but it'll still be pretty good I'll wager.

What they need to focus on IMO is not PLD's DPS. Yes I think it could be higher and particularly RoH needs to be buffed to like 280-290 pot and the enmity modifiers definitely need a buff.

But at the end of the day, no matter what they do with PLD's DPS/enmity it still leaves them with a toolkit that is 50% useless and/or difficult to use effectively. Their defensive utilities like Clemency, Cover, Divine Veil... these all need a huge overhaul to make them attractive and frequently used mechanics of the kit. PLDs could get a 1000 Potency Turbo Fell Cleave Extreme and it wouldn't change the fact that half of their kit is fucking useless and cumbersome and requires you to try extremely niche strategies and tactics to get any mileage of them. When you have utilities that are supposed to be helping your party but other people have to play their jobs differently or be forced into different roles for them be actually useful you have a huge problem.

One design choice that absolutely makes no sense that SE needs to fix immediately is that the two tanks with the highest DPS also have the highest enmity modifiers. There's zero logic to this. If PLD is going to be the lower DPS tank its enmity modifiers need a proportionate boost in relation to those of DRK and WAR, in fact I'd go so far as to say they should be even higher.
