Some PLD changes I'd like to see

[KageTokage]

The only thing about PLD that bugs me right now is that Shield/Sword Oath are still on the GCD for some reason.

I still don't find it as satisfying to play as WAR or DRK somehow, even if it is objectively better. I think might be that their attack animations and sounds just lack oomph.

would like a POA buff display icon on party members UI, you just dont know if it is affecting them.

3) Cover

Might just be me but I never use this skill ... ever. Actually I took it off my bar again. Even enhanced cover just does nothing for me personally. I'd like to see cover changed to the current10% Intervention effect with Enhanced Cover adding the ability to transfer 50% of Rampart / Sentinel Effects.

Why would you want to weaken Cover like that ? On it's own, Enhanced Cover offers the same mitigation as Intervention+Rampart, and you can pop Rampart on top of that.

1) Flash

I'd like to see the enmity generated on this reduced a tad. The recent buff to it was incredibly heavy handed and as the primary source of aoe agro generation, I feel this skill is too strong.

2) Total Eclipse

I'd like to see a small enmity generation added to this to complement my suggested reduced enmity gains on Flash. Why? Because it adds a little variety. While the grand scheme of things won't change on holding agro on aoe packs, I find this particular skill quite boring to use right now. I also never use it outside of dungeons, and Goring Blade combo will still be the chain of choice on 3 enemies.

This just keeps the two skills the same as they are now. In fact, you might not even use Flash if Total Eclipse has enmity generation. The blind isn't really worth the damage loss when you've got actual CDs to mitigate the incoming damage.

3) Cover

Might just be me but I never use this skill ... ever. Actually I took it off my bar again. Even enhanced cover just does nothing for me personally. I'd like to see cover changed to the current10% Intervention effect with Enhanced Cover adding the ability to transfer 50% of Rampart / Sentinel Effects.

This is worse than current Cover unless you pop Sentinel with it and getting it back to current Cover would require you pop Rampart. Dunno why you'd want this.

4) Intervention

Another fairly lackluster skill. Right now tank busters aren't dealing enough damage to need more mitigation and PLD really lacks both a gap closer and gauge dump skill.
I, personally, would like to see this changed entirely to:

Right now, no. In Savage (aka the 8man content where Intervention is relevant) I can see Intervention filling CD holes for cleaves or helping another party member (healer/DPS) mitigate a mechanic targeted on them. It's extremely strong in that regard and only really worthless in 4man content, in which you have Sheltron to use your gauge on anyway.

Cast: Instant, Recast: 15s
Range: 15y, Radius 0y
Effect: Creates a beam of light to draw the Paladin to their target and damages with a potency of 100.
Shield Oath effect: Increased enmity.
Sword Oath effect: Restores MP.
Oath Gauge cost: 50
Can only be executed while under the effect of Sword Oath or Shield Oath.
Cannot be executed while bound.

This would be ok, but hardly a replacement for something as strong as Intervention.

Please don't change Cover, I've been getting a lot of fun out of shirking my friends and using Cover as a defensive CD.
