How to fix Paladin

[Enkidoh]

Your character's level for GLA/PLD is only 37 so you don't have anywhere near your full selection of tools at that stage.

Divine Veil doesn't give you a defense boost as well because that fits the whole image of the PLD being a selfless knight in the first place; protecting and putting others before themself. We already have a bunch of other mitigation tools (Rampart which used to be a GLA skill before it became tank role, Sentinel, Holy Sheltron, Hallowed Ground, Passage of Arms) anyway, so it's not a big deal. I think I can overlook not having another buff for myself on Divine Veil. Quality rather than quantity, and using what you have wisely and effectively is the key.

And before you pass judgement we once were able to crossclass Protect and Stoneskin from CNJ (along with MRD's Foresight) as well on top of that, so we had plenty of other mitigation tools when Divine Veil was added, and still do.
