    Technically correct, you had AI write the whole thing, not just a draft.

    Don't worry, the guy will insist he didn't have ChatGPT write all of this, he seriously plays Paladin, and he just happens to know ~nothing about it because... reasons.

    Clearly not a main PLD.
    Paladin is already perfection

    Despite having Paladin to level 100 I mostly just levelled it to have a tank and barely know anything about getting the most out of the job (shiny buttons go brrr?)

    Even I feel like these changes are a little nonsensical frankly. Like what tangible difference would it actually make it Confiteor is physical or magical? Fight or Flight is for both types of damage output anyway, and Requiescat is a direct potency increase? Job Identity has absolutely nothing to do with gameplay anymore, by the dev’s own admission (see: Seraphism).

    What’s wrong with Cover? If you ask me it’s one of the extremely few ‘unique’ skills we have actually have in terms of how it works mechanically (it’s slightly more involved than ‘press button for party-wide megashield). Seeing it removed would just make Paladin feel even more homogenised with other tanks, wouldn’t it? And replacing it with Flash ? By far one of the most shit on and despised skills of its generation?. Come on man, at least make the bait believable

    I'm surprised nobody's pointed out the reference to "Clemency spam" in the first post, like Clemency is a button Paladin literally ever presses except to cover for a dead healer.

    I addressed the entire post and mods deleted it and from the way the thread looks I think I wasn't the only person with posts deleted.

    I don't understand why so many people want to remove one of the most interesting skills in the game. Yes it's niche. That's why it's good. You can't reliably predict when you'll need to use cover and have to look out for situations where it's beneficial and work out how to use it on the fly. This makes it more interesting than 99% of other abilities. It's how most things should work. Cover isn't redundant either. Intervention has a completely different use case, as do healer abilities. Cover is the ultimate teammate defense and it has a cost to the the PLD that other abilities don't in transferring damage and maybe status effects.

    To take this away and replace it with a button that exists solely to be pressed without any kind of thought (Flash) would be a massive step backwards. I don't want to sound overly harsh but if something like this happened I'd take it as a sign that classes have lost all meaning.

    Someone asking for the removal of cover obviously doesn't know what they're doing as a paladin and doesn't understand the value of it.

    If you're OT'ing in a raid then what's stopping you from using it to take a hit for the MT so that can save their cd's? What's stopping the OT from using it to save a Healer? The OP has obviously never thought of using it like that. So I don't get why they want it removed. They want it removed because they don't know how to use it.

    Honestly i kind of wish Cover didn't cost gauge cause then i could store 50 for holy shieldtron or usign it on intervention, i mean would htey make cover like lets say 5 second more CD. It might jsut be me but i'd take a 5 second extra coooldown on cover for it to cost 0 gauge

    Play Endcontent with all 4 tanks, before you are complaining to all 4. They are fine and alone your paladin suggestions shows: no clue
