Thread: How would they fix PLD 4.0?

Paladin would feel so much smoother if they would simply do the following:
-Make SwO level 30 reward and ShO level 40
-Make Shield Swipe an oGCD high potency aoe
-access to Circle of Scorn at lower level. 50 is too late
-Make Clemency a oGCD close proximity group heal or some sort of party wide attack buff.

I like the Shield Swipe idea! Shield Swipe should be a front Conal AoE though.
(Also, every PLD says tank stance should have been 30, and 35 at the lowest, DPS stance at 50, not liek u needed DPS stance earlier)
Someone suggested Circle of Scorn spreads your DoT duration from goring blade as well.

Both of these I think would help keep PLD feeling pretty similar to itself already, while giving it SOME sort of AoE mechanics, other than spam 1 button. (Id argue this would actually make it nearly more complex than the other tanks, despite being so basic.)
