Paladin Updates

[Alderton]

I think a very simple way to have improved PLD more than any of these changes made today would have been to take the block requirement away from War Drum. Up the TP requirement to 1000, have the timer at 60 seconds, and make it combo with Shield Bash for extra AoE damage. Even if it did half the damage of WAR's AoE Weapon Skills, enmity + dmg might allow PLD to keep up with handling multiple enemies at once. Having to rely on block for one of only two AoE abilities, when block is already rare on tough enemies, is crippling.

Then GLA would still be better than PLD. They tried to fix the job without also buffing the class.
