I mean yeah I'd love to see some part of pallys damage be magic, or them to use more weapons, or have auras (but bards do that here), or various other cooldown based skills (long CD lay on hands anyone?). Since cooldown-based skills aren't a thing this stuff becomes hard though.
I don't necessarily think paladins need more damage, in my mind they should be good at absorbing damage and put out moderate damage (and they do that now). Knights are better at absorbing damage, but paladins can heal it off so I think it balances out.
Thematically making part of their damage magic would be pretty cool, but no idea if that can work with current damage coding.

Using blunts give the paladin 15% bonus which makes the weapon min a little less than a sword but higher max by a little. At lower levels sword is better though cause 15% isn't enough, but around level 15 items it should be worthwhile to use now. AD on sword is 166.1 and blunt is 167.1 actually, so very similar.
