My opinion:
Clemency needs to be changed to Oath and no longer uses MP. This prevents Clemency cheesing, as clemency is STUPID powerful under requiescat. This would allow weaving clemency OR Sheltron during burst phase. Give me a choice. If I'm full HP then I use Sheltron...If i'm low HP then I use Clemency.
Sheltron can be used on other party members. Which would render intervention useless.
Soo....
Intervention is molded into Devine Veil as a trait. Devine Veil will now reduce damage of all party members + provide a shield when the paladin receives healing so it becomes a damage mitigation cooldown + a shield.
Other nit-picks for Paladin that bother me:
Loosen up the rotation a little!
1. Add 2-3 seconds to goring blade timer. Don't get me wrong...PLD has possibly the BEST rotation in the game for design. But it's SOOOO rigid with a huge lack of deviation. You take 1-2 seconds to long in your burst you miss Confiteor, then Goring Falls off, then you drift out of Fight or Flight sync, then your whole cooldown sync disjointed. PLD has to be PERFECT in it's rotation. Reminds me of NIN. I don't want to change PLD burst rotation at all as I think it's perfect with requiescat timer + Confiteor cast, just wish I could weave Sheltron AND clemency off of oath gauge. But the way things see to be going is charges for burst. MNK, NIN, RDM....eventually MCH, WAR will to I suspect. Just add a couple seconds to Goring Blade timer for that refresh.
2. Make Sheltron cost 25 Oath OR increase the length of Sheltron. 50 Oath for 6 seconds of 10-15% block is a steep price to pay based on the amount of time to get 50 oath. Upheaval costs a measly 20 Beast Gauge and it's STUPID powerful, AND you can weave it in your burst for a DH, and it's oGCD. I have put out 30-40k crits with upheaval!
3. Paladin needs a damage Oath Spender. Being an OT Paladin is SOOOOOO boring. Intervention is ok...but if the MT doesn't need damage reduction? Well that's it.... I jus throw it on them anyway to not cap on oath...and capping on oath isn't a DPS loss...Nine times out of ten...i'm capped on oath with a competent MT.
So I propose a oath damage dump. And something I can weave in my burst when i'm OT. Much like upheaval or Flood and Edge. Something!
