Let's redefine "damage taxes"

[MagiusNecros]

I think Paladin is going to get hit with the 2 minute curse. Probably some auto crit too.

I dunno if their defensives will be touched at all.

Passage could be better if it did more for the restriction it imposes or just acts as a 20 second AoE Sentinel for the party. I think for being a 2 minute wonder it should be stronger then a Rampart.

I'd rather see more raidwide mitigation on PLD. Or things that make the PLD Tankier option with a lot of bulk.

One can argue that a Sage has a lot of damage shields and mitigation options that I would prefer to see on a Tank like PLD then a healer.

That would be the most deaf rework we'd ever see.
From what I gathered, PLD is popular among PLD due to its sustained damage rotation.
This made me curious and I actually want to try as well, but not until they rework the Oath Gauge, the block and buffs the defensive.

Oath gauge being on a gauge that fills after auto attack is terrible during downtime.
Cover is worthless, no reason to use it outside pvp.
Hallowed Ground is now the weakest of all invuln due to its too long cooldown. PLD self healing is worthless during HG.

And that's only a part of the problems. For a tank with a shield, it's paradoxal it has the worst defensive.

The rework is coming from the same devs that removed Kaiten because button bloat. I don't main, play or care about Paladin in the slightest but call me pessimistic on the outlook on that job's mini-rework. I will be pleasantly surprised if Paladin comes out for the better. But...I doubt that'll be the case.
