PLD abilities.

[Larethian]

Right now PLD feels just like he is the black sheep of tanks.
First: Sword oath: 50 + dmg to auto attacks? DRK get a 15% dmg buff. Drains MP? doesnt matter. blood price and syphon strike.
AoE enmity: Flash spam is not very useful, makes monsters immune to blind + 0 DPS while DRK and WAR contribute to that too. Circle of Scorn might be okay but has a high cd with 25 sec.
Shieltron: Shouldnt only block physical. MP regen is pretty much useless since we have riot blade in our rotation.
Goring Blade: I dont even. a DoT with such low potency. Nothing else?
Clemency: not a single situation where i should/could use this. way too high cast time, low heal amount.
Royal Authority: Spices up rotation a bit. good when not MT/you shouldnt use halones.
When i look at the other tanks buffs/50+ abilities, PLD just feels like a bad joke.

What am i overlooking? Please tell me im not the only one.

First off all, Clemency is a very good skill, Healing team mates+ Healing yourself or pre-cast heal yourself.
Secondly, Royal Authority you can use even as MT. Just apply RoH first for the STR debuff and you should be fine.
Sheltron, Once again great skill, Not only blocks and regain mana free shield swipe.

I do have to agree you with the lack of aoe we PLD have. But i think the new skills of PLD are actually quite nice and usefull even refreshing.

Make Clemency proc Divine Veil, thats my #1 fix

Some of of the things you say kinda sorta have some bearing, but honestly it's pretty obvious that you haven't thought this out much, and just looking to express what you'd like paladin to be instead of what would improve the class.

I don't think ur gonna be taken very seriously with what you have here.

When did you use Clemency? As far as i remember you get interrupted pretty fast. so as long as you're not tanking anything its useless.
Royal Authority, i never said you shouldnt/couldnt use it as MT. but theres nothing more than "you can use it instead of halones to do a little more dmg but no debuff and 0 enmity" to it.
Sheltrons mana is absolutely useless if you dont use halones combo as the only one.

I have to say, i never used clemency except for when i first got it, since i don't have any use for it, since healers have their job and when will i ever use it? but i find the rest of them fine, just wish sheltron would be like bulwark, but being able to block every physical for 10sec, cause you know...make that shield uselfull a bit.

where did i say anything what the pld should be? i only stated that how he is right now he is bad compared to the other tanks.

[Doudousteve]

I thought DRKs were the black sheep? So far I have no problem tanking and from what I've read on the forums the paladins are in a pretty good place right now.

My bad, I misunderstood the point of your comparisons.

But now i don't get what the overall point of this post even is? To rip on the class?

I second this, I think Paladin is great as it is. Drk too. Have yet to play with the new warrior. Pld is pro defense so it's offense is weaker as stated by Yoshi.
