As you've already determined the 2.1 flavor of the month, I thought you might be interested to know in advance that for 2.2 it will be Tapioca. Better reroll now!

People asking for a negative thread modifier on Sword Oath must've forgotten what 30-40 tanking was like, especially for average tank players that aren't too skilled at tabbing around with their combo yet.

Paladins get a free box of tissues.

What do Paladins get?
The ability to share.

But seriously...
Outside of a couple, tiny, small issues, the Paladin class/job is easily one of the strongest and more fun to play.

Yes, while some PLD are overreacting, many are not asking to get a straight buff for the class but just some small tweaks, fixes and at most a new combo for Riot Blade to add a layer of complexity to the overly simplistic combo system for PLD because we think it would be more fun.
In fact some of the tweaks that I have supported, as a PLD main, where slight improvements to WAR abilities such as Mercy Stroke and Bloodbath because I would like them to be better as cross class skills.

Response such as "Go qq some more PLD" or "Just another scared PLD who doesn't want to share" whenever anyone suggests any potential alterations to PLD, particularly when it is asking for the small fixes or tweaks, is imo just as bad as a PLD overreacting about the WAR changes.

Both sides should listen to each others opinions rationally and respectfully just as those opinions should be presented rationally and respectfully.
If you do, you may just find a nugget of truth in what the other side is saying.

If Paladins do get a change, I would like Cover to have longer range...I feel like I must stretch out my arm IRL to save a healer who's getting smacked in the head from a lazy offtank.

(10 yalms if anything...)

I could definitely get behind that as it would make Cover much easier to use to protect a healer that accidentally grabbed agro or other emergency situations, but I think if that were to happen the range for Holmgang should be increased to the same. It wouldn't make Holmgang's defensive capabilities better but it would make the utility aspect of moving a mob to where you want it better, plus it would look cool

Paladins are supposed to main tank heavy hitting bosses.
Warriors are supposed to tanks many groups of adds

Two different play styles and two different tanking classes
One class is not suppose to out shine the other they are supposed to work together to achieve the same goal.
This is not PVP kids this is PVE.

No tank is supposed to do anything. In fact, PLD would be better than WAR for add tanking due to being able to mitigate more, thus making opportunity for the healer to throw some damage in there.

Originally Shield Oath did give something like a 2x enmity modifier, but then they reduced it to try and make enmity management more difficult.
