The Problem with Paladin

[Klive]

Divine Viel
- Recast time reduced from 120 to 60 seconds.
- Effect duration reduced from 30 to 20 seconds.
- Blocks all physical attacks from the front.
- Healing over time effect granted by Cure and Cura now stacks with the white magic spell Regen.
* Healing efficacy reduced in exchange for longer effect duration.

So divine veil protects a paladin from all physical from the front for 20 seconds with a 60 second cool down. So one third of the time, a paladin is unable to tank physical damage from the monster he is tanking. That is one hell of an ability. Throw in rampart and sentinel in them minx, that is one hell of a physical damage reduction for paladins.

EDIT: This does depend on what SE meant by block. Shield block or block as in prevents... The joys on language.
