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

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this, but also take Shield Swipe off the GCD. DRK and WAR both have interrupts that sit off the GCD and it's infuriating to watch an interrupt-able attack counting down on an enemy name plate while Shield Swipe is also on GCD, when a DRK or WAR can immediately use their interrupt whenever it's off CD.

I'm assuming you mean shield bash, not shield swipe? As long as that cooldown wasn't 20s or however long WAR/DRK is.. I'd still say even with the GcD lock PLD still has the best stun simply because theirs isn't stuck behind a long cooldown or reliant on a proc (i'm pretty sure lowblow can be refreshed faster with a proc? maybe?)

Shield Whatever-the-stun-one-is. I've had more problems stunning on PLD than I do on DRK, but maybe that's just me. Others I've had the discussion with seemed to agree with my assessment, so I just assumed that was the general consensus.

The stun being without CD provides a lot of utility. When you can time the GCDs right it allows you to chain stun multiple targets, which is one of the differences that makes paladin stand out.

Some changes like extra effects for the duration of the stun would be nice, but I would not touch the GCD.

Oh hell naw. Shild Bash being a spammable GCD weaponskill makes it so Paladin can chain stun mobs during trash pulls, which makes for great mitigation, and also so that they can run around stunning ads in mechanics in which you want to prevent a target from reaching X location, like the gels in A3, the Plasmas in A6S or the True Heart in A7. This is part of Paladin's utility and why our stun is imo superior to other classes.

The downside, ofc, is that it interrupts your combos if you have to throw it out to interrupt THAT ONE attack from the boss, but hey, I'd rather have that than make our chain-stunning skills the same boring 20s CD as the other tanks. The classes are already monotonous as they are.

Plus, Shield Bash is suuuper strong in PvP!
