I mean, I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to class ideas, but I honestly feel skeptical about this (might just be the experience I've gained from being on these forums for such a long time, don't take it heart) I appreciate that this is pretty much an endgame class you can use that you know you deserved after getting most of your characters at high levels, but even still, mmorpgs always need to be balanced. Otherwise it would just be a shitstorm of older veterans, newbies who can't tell one end of the map to the other, and people who think it's all pay-to-win. If I wanted to be overpowered after finishing the majority of the game, I'd go and play a single player rpg.
Despite this, I think you've put in a ton of work for the idea, and I feel positive that other people think so too. My only problem is the balancing of the abilities.

please do not ask for likes

 

Do the chat tag, it should be Pa, and Sw. They use the first two letter like Da, Ar, Ma, Wa Kn, Hu, etc.

 

For some reason, the stats remind me of the Warrior.
High Combat Stats, Melee, and Powerful Spells, like Uppercut

 

This might just be my steriotypical mmorpg sense kicking in, but don't paladins usually use hammers and other blunt, heavy weapons? I can't ever remember seeing one use a sword.
