The Problem with Paladin

[Treach]

Divine Viel
- Recast time reduced from 120 to 60 seconds.
- Effect duration reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.
- Blocks all physical attacks from the front.
- Healing over time effect granted by Cure and Cura now stacks with the white magic spell Regen.
* Healing efficacy reduced in exchange for longer effect duration.

So divine veil protects a paladin from all physical from the front for 20 seconds with a 60 second cool down. So one third of the time, a paladin is unable to tank physical damage from the monster he is tanking. That is one hell of an ability. Throw in rampart and sentinel in them minx, that is one hell of a physical damage reduction for paladins.

It's not quite what you are thinking, it's not aegis boon blocks full damage blocks, it's like simply reduced damage blocks like when you block a normal attack from a normal monster.

It's not quite what you are thinking, it's not aegis boon blocks full damage blocks, it's like simply reduced damage blocks like when you block a normal attack from a normal monster.

Exactly what I was trying to say. I think people are looking too far into it. Why would they give us 100% damage reduction with a shorter cooldown than invincibility? They'd do the exact same thing in that scenario. Both would block 100% of physical damage.

It's just guaranteeing blocks, not 100% damage reducing blocks.
