Divine Veil is the only utility I've found really useful.

Clemency is good (though on a boss fight you'd better make it count since it's a huge DPS loss) and PoA is kind of just a meme but Cover is great now that it works on magic. It's the premiere clutch skill of the game.

I'd take even a small MP restore on Spirits. The HP% scalar was always stupid. A failed OT/MT gimmick I'm guessing.

It's kind of a holdover from FFXI where it was based on HP. That made it to 1.x, where it was still based on HP and Spirits Within hit a lot harder and was a much more integral part of tanking because it had a huge enmity modifier and basically pierced defense. Defense isn't a thing now though and Spirits has no hate mod so it does feel a little bland. Not that paladin needs it now, but I've always wanted it to have different effects depending on whether you were in shield or sword oath.

[Spirit's Within HP scalar] It's kind of a holdover from FFXI where it was based on HP. That made it to 1.x, where it was still based on HP and Spirits Within hit a lot harder..

Oh I had forgotten about that. And even IIRC too, even in 1.x it seemed like just a half-hearted carry-over from XI's VIT-based Spirit's Within weaponskill, which made PLD AF1+Joyeuse an interesting build. In that case HP scalar should be an increase to damage, like Upheaval is (apparently?) for WAR.

The only sensible proposals I can see here are the CD reduction for Tempered Will (60-90s would be fine)

Hell with Plunge at 30s and Onslaught at 15s I think 60s recast isn't asking for much either. How about 30 ;3 I guess there could be too many trial knockback/falloff mechanics that could be cheesed though (assuming TW even works in those instances)..
