When we tested i was put on: 24k Defensive, 21k Deflect, Shadowclad, combat advantage -50% dmg ( from mount ), two defensive auras ( protector, truth ), use defensive skills to temp hp and less dmg, and as u see, i cant do nothing. Just run away try to heal, try to do anything to stay alive.
Every build i try : Bulwark, full Healer, Protector, Devotion. Nothing helps against that. Daze all the time, as u see in film, run away try heal stay alive, resoult was always the same. Gloaming Cut hit me badly, sometimes when i was full stuck for defense even than 170k per hit... lol

Thank god for slow motions... 170k not today bro... brollax is not your average tr also.. he is one of the best if not the best
u can even cut most of the trs if u can preasure them
If you have 60% deflect chance with shadow you will keep deflecting and never build up the damage resist. The tool tip makes it clear on deflect stats reset. Use negation and keep those stats or drop deflect significantly top get better usage of shadow.
I'm speaking from experience as well. In my tank setup i have 29k defense (DR Cap) and 21k deflect. I feel much weaker with shadowclad.
Without seeing your build, and from watching that video, I'll give my personal opinion/experience on a couple of things:
> As @slysnow#2290 mentioned, Negation would probably be a better enchant for your paladin because of the defense it gives. The recovery it also gives you is just gravy as Echoes of Light and Divine Call + Vengeful Judge (which it looks like you are using) should help on CD reduction. I haven't tried it much but if you already have high defense, Eclipse could be beneficial for the pure deflect it provides.

Thank God you spoke here.
Learn to play Is the issue.
Plus enchantments.
I tried everything, every build , change my skills, every enchant, bonus from mounts, bonuses from differnt enchants. Like i said before, resoult was always the same, Btollax can mean that. I just try to survive, so game like that i mean stay and spaming surviveble skills are realy boring.
In my opinion helps against that is, many many HP and recovery like 25k+ + bulwark path.... but in thaT build i will be just stay in pvp. which means, no fun to play like that. in my opinion if Dev answer about that, is do with something like that, couse if at will ( i repeat At will ) hit like 170-200 per hit and this is 1v1 ( which mean no buff from other sources ) this is something wrong.
Shielding strike i testet too, tell me when i should stuck it when i dont see a opponent. No, shielding strike work only when i hit opponet, end, even then my shield give me nothing against that dmg couse, those dmg probably are piercing dmg:)
THats why like i said, against that help alot of hp, recovery 25k+ and bulwark path, than maybe ( maybe couse im all the time with daze ) i will survive that:)
Tr is the class when he can spam his daily faster than encounters. Trs base is Recovery, there is no CAP for recovery so if u can have 56k base power than probably u can have same recovery so ur cooldowns are like 1 sec:) daily for 3 sec:) this is really really wrong:) Every class should have colldown for daily like 15 sek or more, couse this is crazy, and one more thing, TR no need arm pento do that dmg, so tell me for what i need defense ?:):)
I thought balanced between classes is when every class have chance ( i repeat chance ) to kill others class, not just run away and try to heal. But this is only my opinion.
And about Op, every class have something to dodge this dmg, Op have just shield who give him nothing against that dmg. Op have no counter about that, couse Op dont have bull charge when i have few sec to rotate opponent and do some dmg.
Burning light is to slow, i need 4 sek to stuck it for 4 sec. when i use 0.5 sec, Burning like this work only 0.5 sek:) but it help against trs, couse BL is the only one skill when i can deal dmg against opponent who i cant see:) but if im all the time with daze, than i cant do alot:P
Anyway think about hits from that at will couse this really strange when his at will deal more dmg than daily skill:):):)
Bane sounds nice.. in case you can place it on an invisible class 3x, being perma dazed on top.
How much can you charge Burning Light against a skilled TR? I guess not that much.
Does stealthmeter deminish at all in mod 15 getting hit in stealth?
A GWF will be an option, if not that TR had at least 2 loadouts, and if BB is not fixed, what will keep me from running good old BB/SoD vs that GWF?
OP on it´s own looks helpless in mod 15 and is allready helpess in mod 14 vs TR, from what I saw.
What this will look in a 5 vs 5, who knows.
Old problems will be new problems, until these devs balance PVP like they should have done since 5 years.
Address perma-daily, same as the unnecessary geargap, get rid of SH-boons, drains and broken gear in PVP.
Until this does not get fixed any attempt to balance is from no interest.
The reason dev even responded to defend it is becouse the changes are propably final so its literarly his job to defend them.
As for someone saying "get good" Tery is currently top 1 OP on PC server, please dont use "git gud" argument.
The only ways i can see any OP coming close to surviving that is using Cleansing touch, Bane and 1 situational aility,
you would have to cleansing touch right after cc, shield block time gloaming cut when you hear it coming, followed by lay on hands/3bane.
Or mb go devo, stack full stamina gain, go bulwark and literarly never drop the shield, be a crabwalking healbot
Every single encounter what can helps me against that i tested, nomally i use bane Vow and BL or Sacread weapon, why that encounters? couse this three enc give me alot of boost to do strong dmg, but if u have opponent like brollax, its hard to do this...
Bane, i can use it only when i see the opponent, same as Vow, so i change it for templar wrath ( TEmp Hp are reduce now to 25% your hp ) so that encounter give 1 sec more sirvavibility, ( cool ) ,
same as bandhing out, why? couse there is a chnace to deal dmg what i take reverse to opponent. But its hard when he is invisible:)
i try Cleaning tuch, cool, i get dazed i use cleaning tuch then i get other daze:) over and over:)
i go for Devo get half bulwar path and full heal, i use alot of power and try to spaming at will to heal, get 2 auras to increse % healing, get more wisdom, get boon for more healing from wisdom, goess what happened:):)
Like i said, i really tried every scenario who can keep me alive:)
i Talk with Saga ( perhaps the Best Tank Pally on server ) he have exactly the same problems:)
