Possible Paladin Rework...

[Dano]

Agree with:
Shield Swipe being off GDC, has short cooldown.
Oaths being off GDC and make them stay even after you die, do it like fist of fire on mnk. Don't mind the MP cost.

the rest are meh, i think they should stay as it is

Thought about this before, and in all honesty they need to do the reworking with the Oaths. You have one that makes you more tank, and one that increases auto-attack...

I haven't leveled it to 50 yet, but PLD is carried off to be more tactical than the warrior. Shield oath shouldn't just be a enmity and defense increase, but have an effect that makes the shield of the paladin more important. shield swipe (the one you get at level 30, its been a while) could have an increase in damage in it, or act as a cone aoe. Shield Lob bounces or hits harder. Maybe even give a constant mini cover for melee.

Let's be crazy. Sword Oath add's emnity to circle of scorn and increases damage, but doesn't increase defense or received healing. You now have a tank that can continue to be what it is now, or for people looking to have a bit more fun it can be a stance dancer. Switch to Sword oath when Circle of Scorn is up for that aoe threat gen, and to increase damage your doing, then switch back to shield oath for the defense and increase shield abilities.


All in all, I want to like the PLD because I prefer Sword and Board over a two handed axe, but there's not enough enjoyment when doing it. But that's my off the wall two cents.

this actually sounds fun
