It makes you think about this guy

That is what we should really be. Tanking at this moment from what I hear and read, is turning out to be a shameful disgrace. Ret is getting buffeted by the tide of QQ'ers and being slowly worn down. Holy is just like a dead rotting corpse. Well, shame on Blizzard for giving in to easily. I think they should change up the relic system for paladins.
Holy- Libram
Prot-Crossbow
Ret-Cross or some sort of holy emblem
Then the prot crossbow will have a silence effect on it, here is the catch it has a cd seeing as it is a holy crossbow it reloads itself, and you can use it in combat. Thataway they can toss AS and put in something else in there, like a passive thing. We know Reckoning well what about this in place of AS
Zeal
A passive ability that allows the paladin to swing his weapon by, 2/4/6/8/10% faster. Also increases Holy Shiled damage by 1/2/3/4/5% percent.
I think that would be good. Then that way they can toss out Reckoning. Leave Shield of the Templar the same. Now what we can work with now is roll imp. hammer of justice with imp. righteous fury and re-name some thing cool like, Grip Of Angels or something along those lines. I would also have a protection passive spell given by the trainer that will boost the paladins base stam by like 3% so it will raise our stam, seeing as this will help with tanking. Maybe also a new trained ability as well. I mean SotR is an awesome base but I would like to see something with more umph in it. How about
Consencrated(either shield or weapon)
Consencrates your (which ever) dealing more damage, (white or holy shield damage)
kind of like you know windfury and stuff for shamans, same prinicples, and like which ever on would cover it in like flames, holy flames.
I think that is about it for my ideas, I think it would effect prot and rebolster back up to glory.
And for ret, I cant make up anything cause evrythng has been said.
and for holy,.......yea
