Paladin Power Reworks

There are obviously many problems with certain powers on the paladin in the sense that they so UP, underused, or because their mechanics are just awful. In this post I'll be pointing out powers and what I think should be done to them.
-General-
Paladin needs a huge DPS increase.
Soloing on a paladin is torture.
Needs a class feature that passively increases your speed so you aren't always behind by 10 miles.
-Divine Judgment-
Needs to hit like Indomitable Strength.
-Smite-
Needs to hit like Indomitable Battle Strike.
It's basically the only single target nuke on paladin.
-ALL AURAS-
Yes, every single aura has a giant problem and that is their range.
They need all their ranges to be increased to 60' like bond of virtue.
Th auras have just to little of a range to be useful to anyone playing
from far away. You shouldn't have to breath down my neck to feel my buffs.
-Divine Call-
Range increase to 50'
Should start out with full stacks of divine call upon resurrection.
For Protection it should work as a hard taunt.
-Sanctuary-
Needs an area increase for the sake of not having to taste my skin
to receive buff. It's activation time also has stupid high start up lag
that needs to be reduced. There is also a glitch where
you sometimes will hold up your shield like a GF.
-Burning Light-
Right when the casting bar fills up this power should instantly activate,
instead of the stupid ending lag it has right now. It also should gain divine
call depending on how long you held the cast button for. Needs slight DPS increase
Otherwise it's all good.
-Sacred Weapon-
I swear to god you guys must of re-used the same stupid, long, lethargic
animation iron warrior has when this move was created. It needs an extreme
reduction in casting time and should be able to be casted while moving.
Needs to deal more radiant damage
-Heroism-
It has a big problem with it's very long casting time and the fact that you aren't
CC immune during casting time. It's max duration needs to be increased to 10
seconds because right now it's not useful with it's stupid short use.
-Bane-
You should be able to bless allies regardless of paragon path and devotion
will gain 20% increased healing per stack to blessed allies while protection
will increase defense by 15% per stack. Should also act as a hard taunt for the paladin.
-Aura of Wraith-
Needs to increase ally damage based on the paladin taking damage.
Caps at 30% Buff should be handled additively to not make it OP
when used in conjunction with other powers.
-Aura of Truth-
Needs to reduce damage by 5% every point put in. Right now it's not
even worth putting 1 point in.
-Aura of Vengeance-
Should work like you and your allies in 60' have a 30%
chance to hit 50% of your power damage as bonus radiant damage.
This damage can not critical.
-Aura of wisdom-
+ 2.5% AP gain per point to help classes with lower AP gain.
-Aura of Protection-
Needs to increase defense by 5% every point put in.
-Cleansing Touch-
Needs base healing increase. . .
It's healing is garbage on protection.
-Banishment-
Well, this power is the most worthless power on paladin
and needs to be completely scraped.
-Binding Oath-
Needs more damage potential.
Should cap at 2x the paladin's health and reflect 50% of damage taken.
-Shield of Faith-
Revert it all and remove healing bonus. Redirects all damage to paladin.
If you reject this then tell me why does knight's valor exist.
-Vow of Enmity-
Should have a 3 target cap and be able to cancel a vow by hovering
over the selected target and pressing the button again.
Should build gradual threat for the paladin. Initial cast
should be a hard taunt with 10 second ICD.
-Aura of Wraith-
Should count lost TEMP HP as lost HP as well.
-Divine Touch-
Needs a MASSIVE damage increase. Honestly, this should be the AOE nuke
for the paladin.
-Absolution-
Shield needs to be a percentage based thing. It's shield is a
big joke.
-DIVINE PROTECTOR-
Ugh, this move needs the biggest out of every single power in the game.
Right now it's duration makes it really useless but a buff to duration would
make it horribly unbalanced. It needs to be balanced around the fact
that a power should never be able to make a party completely immune.
I believe that one way it could be balanced is to increase max duration to 10 seconds
but only redirects 70% of damage. This will mean it is strong, but not too OP.
. . .
You wanna talk about a broken move let's look at 100% uptime knight's valor.
-Relentless Avenger-
Just take away the stupid knock-back, those effected by the hit and the wave
should all be taunted. Needs big DPS increase
-CIRCLE OF MOTHER FU***NG POWER-
Honestly, this move had the biggest potential to rival into the fray, but
you went and made it effect only the paladin. This move is needs a 50'
range and needs to increase the power of everyone standing in it by 20%.
For devotion, it should increase incoming healing for everyone by 20% and
for protection it should reduce incoming damage by 20%. Really, you messed
this move up bad and needs a giant rework now. Just doing this will make paladins
much more welcomed in groups.
-Aura of Valor-
Should increase threat based on incoming damage and cap at 600%
Yes 600%.
-Aura of Solitude-
Companions shouldn't make the affect of this go away.

Aura of Valor also seems pretty useless to me. if my allies take that much damage it's generally because they got hit by AoE, or stood in red, not necessarily because they had aggro. therefore generating more threat for the paladin does not solve anything.
the heals from Sactuary(protection, i can't speak for devotion) are useless, and there doesn't seem to be a way to increase them. if not increased, then it might as well be scrapped.

Haven - Righteous Cleric
Ethereal Justice - OP Paladin
Sanctuary above all needs to lose the activation delay asap.
overall DPs boost is definitely needed to a degree considering where every other class is at the moment and especially considering where the brother tank(GF) is in regard to damage
Absolution is flat out useless - needs rework. This particular power is located on a spot in the power tree saved for some of the most useful abilities of a class so what gives?
Banishment - sounds great on paper - in reality flat out useless
Templar's Wrath - deals "heavy damage".. really? Where is it? This power is used only for Temp HP and could use a boost in damage. Even if boosted it wont break pvp so it would be only an improvement for pve.
Bane and Vow need to merge into one ability and once cast on a target it must guarantee that the Prot Pally does not lose agro even if hell freezes over.

Bis people are not the norm, they are the exception. Balance should not be made with bis in mind because bis will always do stuff that transcends balance and outperform normal players by a huge margin. It doesnt matter what a +4K of any class can do. It matters what every class can do at 2-3k.

i have 6 OP's i have only liked op i have tested and tried multiple ways to play it and i enjoy the class
you people want max dps then play a dps class
can go weeks without getting killed by mobs and i can put on all rank sevens and still do pretty well
if you think im an elitist i guess you are right i have payed my dues and leveled multiples to try different specs so i didnt have to keep respecing because im just a poor boy
it always makes me laugh when someone grabs a class and expects to know its ins and outs with just getting a build from someone that does decent with it ,then gets pissed when its not what they expected
goes right to the forums and cries that the class is broken when its clearly not
ill be happy to group with u in whatever enchants you want me in and show u that what i say isnt just elitist its tried and true
But lets not detract. This thread should focus on suggesting improvements for really bad pally powers or bugs like the once I listed.

Paladin needs a huge DPS increase.
Soloing on a paladin is torture.
this is why i responded in the first place
yes there are some useless feats and powers and auras
but not everything on the class needs dps increased and reworked like the Original Poster is asking for
And lets not forget our primary role here... TANK or HEAL!!!! We shouldn't be at top in paingiver.
Healdin is lack of buffs/debuff skills, thats why it lost the only group healer slot to dc
the Vow of Enmity, i would suggest cap 5 targets for devote.
I would also love to have something, a charge, a dash SOMETHING to help me get out of a freaking AOE. It never fails that as soon as I try to heal or stun, I get stuck in the animation and an AOE is under my feet. I have to slowly shuffle out of it (generally getting hit on the way). The only thing that kills me is AOE's.
