I personally feel Paladin feel much less squishier than before, losing out on so many defensive cooldowns with no real new ones to compensate. The baking of Bulwark into Sheltron doesn't really feel like a buff to me due to losing a skill when you had both, as well as having anywhere between 5-10% less blocking/parrying with the block/parry nerf. This is coming from someone that cares more about tanking damage rather than personal dps, so anyone wishing to comment on how Paladins are better only mean it from a damage-dealing standpoint need not apply.

DPS is in a good spot for paladin, it's mitigation is weaker than before.
