Possible Paladin Rework...

Holy oath - Swap Str for mind, buff healing potency and nerf damage output. More healing spells would make this most useful, but even just making enhanced raise/stoneskin available in holy oath would be a start.

I'd trade Sword Oath for this "Holy Oath" in a HEARTBEAT!

The only issue i see with this is things like turn 5 conflags were originally designed with the additional dps from sword oath to bring them down in mind.

Though using sword oath was -not- required it certainly made the odds more in the players favor.

Not that I wouldn't mind some more support abilities outside the realm of self casting, I'd frankly settle if they allowed Sword Oaths potency boost to apply to weapon skills even if I have to trade-off for something like increased TP costs or MP consumption per weapon skill. That would of course imply some form of decreased enmity generation from Sword Oath too to help keep balance (and manage hate control), but I don't see why we can't get a little more utility out of us when we're Off Tanking long as the trade-offs are reasonable.
