Paladin. I dont feel I'm actually playing a Paladin.

I feel like adding damage to Flash or giving Total Eclipse an enmity modifier would end up messing with the balance in PLD's AoE kit.

Flash currently sacrifices damage for mitigation through a spammable blind. It's cooldown-less, on-demand AoE damage mitigation. It also consumes MP instead of TP, allowing for more uses of Total Eclipse in drawn-out or back-to-back trash packs. Even if Flash had damage on the base spell, it would probably be at best similar to DRK's Unleash: useless to spam unless you're dealing with tons of enemies (and always inferior to Abyssal Drain/Total Eclipse once unlocked).

Adding an enmity modifier to Total Eclipse presents two problems: It chances devaluing Flash, and would probably make PLD's AoE spam even less interesting (because there's no need to weave Flash if TE generates enough enmity). I know the second point is fairly weak, but weaving Flash should be encouraged in some way because AoE Blind is a decent mitigation tool. Not to mention that PLD still has Circle of Scorn for 250 potency AoE enmity on a low cooldown of 25s.

i do hope with next expansion flash gets a trait to become a aoe spell similar to Holy spirit and work with requiscat of course so paladin isnt boring with packs of adds

I like this idea, but have it only be a damaging spell when under the effect of Requiescat (similar to how DWT alters Tri-Bind). Flash could be traited to become, say, "Banish" during Requiescat's buff window and deal damage instead of having a blind debuff.
