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

Addressing the topic directly, i would say that 3.1 has been good to PLD.
With the new gear available, PLDs can increase their DPS quite a fair bit via the new gear available from void ark and thordan ex.
I don't think anyone should complain about PLDs supposed lack of DPS anymore.
Just lacking the void ark body piece and 1 more week of farthing upgrade to my helm to complete my ideal gear set right now.

If anything else, i would just like clemency to be cut to 2.5 seconds cast instead of 3 seconds.

The only good thing in 3.1 to pld is the oGCD shield swipe, which should have been done since day one. Even in the new Thordan fight I'd say PLD is sub-par to a well played DRK and WAR.

Shelltron is pretty damn awesome for Heels tho, also Clemency and DV has its uses in there aswell.

So is the DPS that goes out to allow a better chance for you to skip the first heel all together and to lower damage from ultimate end. Why would you even be using clemency in any part of the fight? DV does ease the burden on healers, I'll agree to that.

On add phase if you have shield add healer can ignore you and focus on sword tank/or keep dps:ing as shelltron+clemency is all you need to survive from blade dance as it doesnt interrupt casting, same combo works on all heels but it requires good timing(cleme lands the moment heel hits you). You will keep GB up via RB combo so might aswell use that excess mana on something usefull.
