Title : Paladin Timing Re-Tool
----------------------------------------
*Divine Smite received a moderate base potency increase.
* Penance cooldown increased to 4 rounds.
* Penance effect fades from target after 2 dark strikes and does
additional psychic damage upon fading.
* If the penance effect is cleared by 2 dark strikes it will return dark
power.
* Dark Strike cooldown reduces by 1 round at Dark Knight rank 3.
** Dark Strike cooldown is therefore 2 rounds w/ Dark Knight 3 and Templar
2.
* Fell cleave potency received a moderate increase.
* Fell cleave cooldown increased to 6 rounds.
* Shieldslam potency received a slight increase.
* Shield slam cooldown increased to 6 rounds.
----
NOTE 1: PLUNGE. You can PLUNGE at any time within the fell cleave cooldown
window. PLUNGE does not require you immediately follow a fell cleave and
is better woven in amongst cooldowns (as its instant) than immediately
executed.


NOTE 2: Dark Knight was supposed to emphasize DARK STRIKES when a foe was
under PENANCE. The changes are an attempt to encourage this behavior.

An optimal Dark Knight rotation should look more like:
PENANCE
DARK STRIKE
SHIELD SLAM/FELL CLEAVE
DARK STRIKE
PENANCE
DARK STRIKE
DEFEND/PLUNGE
DARK STRIKE
<<REPEAT>>
