Paladin Service Ideas

Rough ideas for what I’m considering. Paladins create a battle standard (new item) and it can be worn in a new inventory slot (can toggle visibility). It would require periodic recharging similar to Monk and Bard profession services. Abilities:

T1) activate while dead to teleport to town (limited use per day, likely 1 then a second charge at T5)
T2) activate to gain retribution aura (similar to Flaming Aura (1706), but deity flares, every 10 seconds for 3 minutes, 30 minute cooldown).
T3) passive deity specific flares (standard flare damage and chance, passive and always active).
T4) activate to cause flares from T3 to trigger on every attack for 30 seconds, 30 minute cooldown.
T5) when receiving a critical hit, % chance to reduce the crit by 1 rank and causes a deity flare against the attacker (passive and always active)
T6) activate T5 ability and it persists for 30 seconds. Can be activated while incapacitated. 1 use per day.

Recharging ensures a recurring market. Without it, those who want the item would get it, then never need a Paladin again.
