I opened a thread under Battle Mechanics with an actual write up of what I (personally) think would help us in the immediate future be a more valuable member of the Party, without sacrificing Warrior's status or making Paladin overpowered.

Check it out! Leave your own thoughts, try to do them in the format I've done them as it might be easier for dev's to see exactly what we are interested in for changes.

Disclaimer
: I was a huge fan of Paladin on XI, so my changes mostly are geared towards making XIV Paladins somewhat of an Eidolon of their predecessor.
