Lets nerf WAR :D

I'm saying that in order to actually properly use it, contrary to popular belief, you'll have to use it in Sword Oath.

No, you have to use it...anytime, unless you have a better oGCD skill available between these two GCD. But with the proc duration, you can use one oGCD, one GCD, then Shield Swipe.

Shield Swipe doesn't prevent you gaining enmity, since it doesn't really "delay" any skill.

I'll make a bargain with you....I'll use it each and every single time because I see the value you talk about. You and others will be charged with spreading the word that people are reluctant to use an incomplete toolkit. This is demonstrably an issue with Paladin right now. You've heard it all before----A 1.0 remnant (Spirits Within) having its potency reduced exponentially based on my current health upon use (me.....a tank.....that's....supposed to be hit,) Clemency has no place anywhere other than solo content, we lack AoE DPS, our MT DPS is pitiful, etc. I'll take your advice and humbly admit that I'm wrong. I just ask of you to remember why I brought the issues up and tell others. Tell Square.

Notable suggestions:
Shield Skills should ignore Shield Oath penalty.
Shield Swipe remains at its current potency, activation requirement, enmity, cooldown timer, stays oGCD with no TP cost but is a cone AoE to make up for our extremely pitiful AoE damage potential slightly.
Slight enmity enhancements for skills they determine to be deficient so that we can help meet DPS checks slightly more easily.
Something needs to be done with Clemency (either a limited time self HoT that equals out to the mp cost over that limited time ***for the love of the gods, no aura plz***, or it's cast time should be cut in half while maintaining it's extremely high MP cost.)

These aren't a lot of changes, and they certainly won't catapult us into doing 1300 DPs whether it be as OT or MT. They will help resolve the issue of a complete lack of synergy among skills and the design of Paladin while keeping it distinguishable among tanks.

This is...Subjective, not undeniable. Also, I love seeing a group of Paladins arguing toolkit in a Dead Thread about nerfing Warrior. #toorich #Seenitallnow

Don't worry, I'm participating in several threads debating all the issues for PLD

For me though, PLD and DRK need to be pushed in totally new directions for each tank to have a legit spot in any content.

Yeah I'm sorta' with you there. Honestly, a portion of the issue is encounter design, yes. I'd wager just as equally large a portion is indeed the awkward direction things are going for jobs. I apologize if earlier I offended you.
