So, after the patch, how goes it with Paladin?

This patch is like a 4% DPS upgrade only while tanking, and the TP buff is almost non-existent. Any issues players still had, like being outclassed by DRK in the DPS and (for this tier) defensive department, as well as other disadvantages on taking PLD over DRK, are still alive and well.

If people wanted to whine before, this patch has no reason to stop them.

I take it then, that despite being an off GCD ability with a recast timer, Shield Swipe still requires a block to 'proc' it?

Yes.And the decreased potency definitely doesnt do it any favors, even if its a minimal dps gain

So, basically it's tinkering with the fringes that sounds like they are paying attention, but does nothing to address the actual issues?


They should have removed the need for a block on shield swipe, and extended the recast to 20s, or expanded the proc to block or parry. Fixing the utterly redundant pacification status would be nice as well.
