Is Paladin the least fun class to play?

[zdub303]

After playing warrior and dragoon... yeah paladin is quite boring to play.

All the class really needs is a good finish to the riot blade combo. Would love to have an ability like... "Spell Blade" which has Combo Potency: 300 and Combo Bonus: Next spell cast time reduced 1.5s and costs 90 TP. Gives us a supporty flavor allowing us to toss out stoneskin and cures here and there. Maybe have shield oath increase our cure potency by 200-300 as well to make cure actually useful.

In this way we would have to make a choice between Rage of Halone and Spell Blade, agro or support? Also can't spam Spell Blade combo forever has Riot Blade and Spell Blade are 80/90 TP, forcing us to consider how to manage our TP.

That is pretty much all PLD needs to make it interesting.

Spell blade could also put us in a good position to have a 'fighter-mage' like dps class in the future as a second job off GLD. Something like 30 GLA/15 THM.

I think we are all saying the same thing with different ideas.

Paladin is a holy knight with magic. Current pld uses no magic. We want some form of holy magic. Anything. Ageis boon per Brannigan's idea, Holy Oath per OP, Spellblade per Zdub. ANYTHING. Give us a reason to actually cast a holy element spell. Every pld in the series, all the way back to genesis with Cecil has had meaningful curing magic. All we want is what many consider the very essence of the class: a reason to use white magic on the white magic tank.
