Ideas For a Paladin Rework

[Rithy255]

Most PLD players I talked to dont want the job being the top damage and wanted it to be the bulky defense tank.
Imagine wanting that from the only tank who holds a shield.

The Job should be the fattest in defense, and yet we're trying to shove it into top DPS into a design that isn't PLD. Its kinda sad.

I want big defence and big utility, I like having decent damage numbers, but if PLD was around Wars level of DMG while being strong defensively and having good utility I'd be very happy.

Right now Its funny how Pld is considered the offtank with janky somewhat useless utility lol, If people slapped big numbers on current PLD and kept how it is not that I wouldn't play it, but I've always wanted Paladin to be a strong "tank" a strong "support", Of course I want PLD to have viable numbers and not be far behind the DPS of DRK/GNB (or even war) but I don't think or want PLD to be top dps lol, I don't even think that really suits PLD as a job, suits Gnb, drk or even warrior way more.

Of course you can't just make PLD do bad damage because then it wouldn't really be used but if any tank should be the lowest damage but strongest defence/support it should be Paladin, I've always liked the Knight look so I'd pretty much play Paladin no matter what as long as the job is somewhat fun and viable.
