Fix paladin. Only Class in the entire game that cannot...

With a series of buffs this generous you'd definitely have to throw the other tanks a bone as well.

If not changes instead a hefty reward in 4.0 for the wait^^

I'm not even sure why we're demanding buffs anymore with fewer 3.x patches ahead than behind, and everything likely getting a xpac-worthy boost in 4.0. PLD will just probably be getting a slightly larger boost and WAR a slightly smaller boost, if we're to take Yoshi at his word.

The only way we'll get anything sooner is if they dreadfully mis-design the coming raid tier such that PLD or some other job is unable to perform on an FCoB-DRG-esque level.

Fix Paladin, the only job that cannot sprint decently with their weapons drawn.

This is an actual issue but it isn't just paladin. Dark Knight and Ninja have their own kewl sprint animations but the old classes get effed with generic 1h/2h poses.

Looks super weird when you have a pointy sword and a big shield. We should sprint with our shields frontwards! Would be super cool for screenshots.

Wait, are you saying that paladin can sprint? I don't even know how does the sprint animation look like ._.

You should be sprinting almost every dungeon pull

Actually nm dungeons are sleepwalk mode anyway. Do what you want in them. You should sprint around town though it's fun to go fast.

So i was reading threw and it seems everyone is trying to make PLD do more damage which, in my honest opinion, seems to contradicts what a PLD is described to be. The ultimate tank.
As for play style its described to use a mix of Tp and Mp stuff yet doesnt really.
What i propose is first make its shield oath and sword oath drain mana or Tp depending on the stance, kinda like DRk, causing you to have to balance between the two. Interesting and would add some challenge to playing pld other than the constant same rotation spam.
Secondaly buff shield oaths DMG reduction and make it so abilities like shield bash and such are only available when your using shield oath, or make it so shield oath now also absorbs some of the damage delt to party members behide them. Another idea would be to make so only an area infront of PLD absorbs damage appling mitagation. For sword oath same idea, but dont know what to do for it, any ideas would be great.
