    I fear any actual "rework" paladin would get, I like the job generally being punishing, I like its rotation in general.
    I'm fine with paladin being a bit too janky for its own good in some areas, I don't want it to feel like warrior 2.0, Paladin players generally really like the job, I think if others don't like it for its differences that's fine but why bother changing paladin to be more like the other tanks, when people already have the other tanks to pick up.

    I'm fine with a rework, but not going off any rework change that's lately be implemented, I don't want it to just become more simple. Sure there will be more paladin players (it's common to see the more forgiving classes more played) but the people who liked paladin for what it is aren't really going to be happy, theirs nothing like paladin in the game, where as most tanks just feel too similar to me.
    Theirs lots I'd like changed about paladin such as divine veil being annoying, cover being super niche and unuseful most the time, Theirs a lot of changes I'd be happy to see but i don't want the core of Paladin to generally be changed up too much.

    Also I saw comments saying they wanted paladin spells to be removed
    I really don't understand anyone wanting paladin to have no spells? Paladin would honestly lose a lot of it's charm and ascetic as a "holy knight", It's a big part of Paladin and I don't know why anyone who plays/enjoys paladin would want spells removed from paladin.
    I guess you could say because spell speed doesn't mix with skill speed but generally idk why spell speed and skill speed aren't merged for jobs like paladin (and drk for unmend and aoe).

    I think in general complexity is good for the game we should have a mix of easy to pick up jobs and more skilled jobs, it's good it works for everyone, not everyone has to main paladin if you don't enjoy it you will likely enjoy something else, Paladin doesn't need to be like every other tank.

    I'll add that yes I enjoy paladins rotation, it's not perfect either imo. But it's a really fun rotation for me. I generally like how different it is, its not just "big angry burst phase" oh back to my 1, 2, 3 It feels really fun for me i generally it, I could see some changes to it being good but in general I don't think it needs a massive rework or any big changes to its core rotaiton.

    1. Make atonement to be a combo (with 3 animations) available while the buff is up. That will make it more dynamic and fun to use.
    2. Change the snowflakes to something holy, like actual light, spectral blades like confiteor, or holy fire. This is honestly the worst visually to me and despite being “lore-accurate” completely feels off.
    3. Make divine veil not requiring a heal to trigger, make it also shields the paladin like all the raid-wide buffs from other tanks.
    4. Probably add another skill, as PLD falls behind other tanks because we have “utility”, except they’re super niche and not very good to justify this.

    Generally these changes are fine, Paladins actual support kit needs changes mainly Cover and divine veil.
    Holy spirits animation is alright to me? but sure could be changed i wouldn't have any real issues with that.

    Talking about niche abilities I'm fine with clemency being niche in general, Its a great ability in the situations that its needed, it being a GCD makes it a choice outside your rotation (Sure you never wanna use it but theirs runs where picking up the slack from healers can help, ect.) I don't think pld needs another personal, but I wouldn't really be opposed to that
