I've been playing a paladin since release and I think some or all of these changes would go a long way to rounding out the class!
1) increase the divine call regeneration while in combat (6% feated does all most nothing)
2) changes relentless Avenger to a prone, not a knockback so that other class's stop complaining about those who spam it
3) Change our shift ability so that like the GF we can stand in breaths and not get killed allowing us to not have to shift the boss potentially killing un-observant players in the process
4) fix the capstone for bullwork so it works!
5) fix prisim feat in the justice tree because it lags people out in WOD when they use daily
6) adjust out stamina regeneration % a little since I find it goes' faster than that of the GF, maybe do to the fact that when we use sanc we are also giving protection/healing to members in our party.
7) more for both OP & GF give us a speed increase so that our group is not at the next group before we have left the current chamber. I'm sure there is a way to disable this in pvp
I am sure others would like to see a damage increase I really don't care but the above would go a long way in the world of neverwinter!
Cheers

I would add that paladins also need better AP gain; I can build AP and use my daily a lot faster on every other class than paladin.
2) changes relentless Avenger to a prone, not a knockback so that other class's stop complaining about those who spam it
I actually like this idea. The knockback isn't that bad when soloing but I don't and can't use it at all while in a group (as devotion) since nobody likes to chase down mobs.
2) I can agree with it to, but don't exactly care since it's less than two seconds and outside really weak mobs they don't get sent further than most AE spells to begin with.
3) I would choose to not stand in the red beam, but regardless, if people aren't paying attention we shouldn't do them any favors. If you want to do the content, open your eyes and quit scrapperlocking/tunnelvisioning. I don't feel one bit sorry for people who stand in the obvious death zones and die.
4) Sure why not.
5) I haven't experienced the lag, but the reason can be anything from PC to the ISP battle so I dunno.
6) My stam regen seems just fine, so dunno about this one.
7) I would have preferred our run aura to be active all the time, but if the rest of the team is too impatient, I just let them die and won't pick up the tank until later. Plain and simple. After a few times people learn. If they can survive without me tanking then more power to them.
...the prism and the walking speed issues are fully justified. Same for bulwark cap if broken (IDK if it works or not, I'm "Justice for dealing out justice..."). The rest of the list is IMHO either not a topic or like RA designed as it is, with the drawbacks (or situational advantages). Basically the Paladins should not be GFs that can also heal, but a different class with different pros and cons...

Your argument would be valid if the pros and cons worked properly, or didn't have major issues with the content as designed currently.

OK, so let's go through the list one by one:
1) Divine Call: One of two or three alternative on-tap heals for a frontliner "only 6%", when the best potions give like 12-8% (depending on base HP)? Fully adequate IMHO. OFC one can never have anough of a good thing but i feel it well enough balanced.
2) RA has KB, which is great for that white knight in shining armor stunt to draw aggro from the reviving teammate and the downed one. Also Radiant Strike at-will is an alternative mobility skill, which can be used.
3) That's the mechanics for the Pala: AoE frontline heal costing only stamina instead of blocking 100%. Different, and I feel that good enough. Let the GF have their monopoly there, else Pala will eventually push them out of the game into obsolescence.
4&5) I fully agree with these.
6) Put stat buffs from artifacts, or pet bonus in there if you feel that lacking. Min-maxing all the way. It's fast enough IMHO, but there are ways to improve it, if you feel you absolutely need that - for which one might have to take the bite and chew down on another stat..
7) I again agree...
Where exactly is the imbalance? Aside for the content balance, but there everybody has to suffer, and as far as I see it, Paladin is one of the classes that is hit less hard by it. Also that's a different topic for which plenty of threads exist...
Most of the changes I brought up the replys I can agree with! How ever when I played my GF I really enjoyed taking the breath attacks in the face and living. . . having to dance in lostmouth is anoying but I agree if people are too focused and die screw em! the party dieing because they can't wait for me to get there drives me nuts! prot paladins don't get a speed feater which I guess is because were not healing people!
Now that I have an ap gen neck I find I can keep devin prot up 24/7 with a dc useing haistening light feater so meh on that one! I'd still like to see devine call go up faster or for them to at least fix it so when I hit tab it actualy works so i don't end up spam tabbing and it takes them all LOL
What 'major issues' does the Paladin have with current content that doesn't affect all other classes?
What Palading feats and powers are bugged or not WAI?
Go read the Paladin sub-forum. Nobody calling for a class rework. Because the people there know how to play the class.
You might want to read, and re-read this thread, because no one is calling for a class re-work here. I know skimming is the name of the game and making assumptions is the ultimate goal because no one fully reads the information presented.
And as of last patch I've been posting multiple bugs that have been cropping up. Namely the fact that blocking now doesn't stop all effects taht hit the paladin like it use to, temp HP is still getting erased by certain effects for no reason, and of course my fav annoying bug if a friendly NPC or player is between me and my target I get an invalid target call forcing me to move so I can use my targeted powers, for starters.

well, it mostly depends on the way you play.

Fix prism so it doesn't proc multiple times a second, 1 sec internal cd would do it just fine Would also fix lag problem..

(Though if, for example the Bulwark Capstone is bugged/not working, let's fix those type of things!)
Yeah, sure, Mod 7 will probably cause tons of QQ there :^/
Top kek. PvP'ers.

really hard
Whoda thunk that tanks are very hard to kill
You play a paladin? AP gain is not even an issue.
