Oathbound Paladin - Rework Bulwark Build Suggestions

michaelrn1982

As I have been trying to lean more into a tanky OP, I would like to suggest that the capstone be changed to something similar to keep up with the content.

Holy Barrier:

From: While taking damage, you slowly gain stacks of barrier. When Divine Call is used, you gain .5% (does not state a max amount of stacks) of your max hp as a shield
To: While taking damage, you slowly gain stacks of barrier. When Divine Call is used, you gain 5% (Max 20 stack or equal to 100% of your HP) of your max hp as a shield.

Reason: The current capstone does not scale with the times/content and is one of many reasons why OP's are not looking at Bulwark. There needs to be a revival of this build concept.

Can we please take a look at this as a future enhancement for the Oathbound Paladin class?

They also need to add an increase to threat generation on the Bulwark path and possibly a method of gaining Divine Call by taking damage rather than just dealing it.

I believe head unbowed does that, once you are lower than 30% HP in which is not optimal for the content (means you are one swing from laying on the floor). Perhaps that could be reviewed as well.
