proposed Paladin changes

[Deveryn]

The main issue with cover is the strict range requirement.
As it now, it's inferior to intervention in nearly eveey scenario

It would still be situation with the 2 drastic nerfs it received in SHB, but removing or merely increasing the effect range would make it feel way better to use than it does now

The range makes sense considering you're stepping in to take damage for someone else. 10y is quite generous too. I'm curious how far it's "supposed" to reach.

Though I would like to see some changes, I'm not sure I agree with these proposed changes. But I'm one of those who misses the variety we used to have (i.e. I'm one of those still mad about AST cards, among other things).

Cover I think is fine as is, despite it being situational.

Passage of arms could maybe have a lingering defense buff for those who were in the cone at half it's normal potency if the paladin moves (like AST's collective unconscious) as a QoL.

I like divine veil's uniqueness in how it gets applied, though perhaps an additional buff to the shield would be nice (half of amount cured + 10% of pld's max HP?). Just applying to self would be a great buff in general since it also does a 400 potency cure if I recall.

Clemency should use more MP outside of requiescat for the amount it heals. PLD and WAR heals are a bit overkill in general for tank jobs.

The range makes sense considering you're stepping in to take damage for someone else. 10y is quite generous too. I'm curious how far it's "supposed" to reach.

10 yalms is exceedingly generous. FFXI's Paladin also has Cover, but you literally have to stand in between the ally you're covering! That's how it's supposed to work!
