    Why would you make Bulwark a parry as opposed to block? Considering the block check happens before the parry check, you will parry less just by that interaction.

    I'm also not a fan of making Goring Blade some sort of FoF ender. One of PLD's strengths is that its burst profile has a lot of ranged attacks, where you can put the melee portions wherever you want to maximise the ranged attacks. Putting a melee attack at the end restricts this benefit further.

    As for DM stacking, I do not agree. I think the more restrictive nature of having to use all the buffs before you complete another RA and really having to maximise the ranged potential of DMHS is what makes PLD more fun. Can I still keep it for the burst window, or, am I better off using it at range to keep the uptime. By stacking DM, you take that away.

    I also don't think PLD neds 3 gap closers because it has the strongest ranged options of all the tanks, so they technically have less of a need for more gap closers.

    About the only thing I strongly agree with is Goring Blade being made AoE, Giving it follow up might be nice as well, anything else I am neutral to.

    Oh now I would love to see it as a FoF ender that is the Paladin throwing the sword at an enemy for moderate damage, disarming themselves, then 1 GCD later automatically charging the target with the shield for high damage and pulling the sword out for another large hit of damage! That'd be cool!
