It sounds like you want Paladin from Cata/Panda era WoW to be directly ported over to XIV?

That could be ok, I guess.

Not remotely.

Retribution Aura does not allow you to use enemy attacks to strike other nearby enemies; it merely deals flat damage per hit, excelling only against numerous light blows. Prot PLD could daze, but this did not increase vulnerability or decrease evasion, let alone against the set PLD specifically (what you see with Warrior's CS, etc.). WoW PLD has no combos; it's a whack-a-mole CD priority rotation. WoW PLD makes few if any compromises. Prot PLD itself required at that time (and still does, imo) little foresight, whereas the above suggestions would desire considerable setup. WoW PLD has no weapon-prioritizing stances. Cata's Vengeance bonus tank AP mechanics were based on base damage taken, iirc, not just mitigated. I don't recall any way (until Legion Holy PLD) that positioning could have an effect through unique class mechanics. Cata/Mists PLD merely had Holy Power stacks generated from filler to be spent on a variety of nukes (much more freely than our combos), not differentiatiable resource stacking for accelerated outputs (Sword Oath above) or readied defenses/utility (Shield Oath above).
