Faith for example isn't bs, unless you are a shaman trying to kill a paladin. Noone should be complaining virtues like spiritual hammer or fast are grossly overpowered. I think counterstrike & champion's stand could be looked at to see if they are out of line power-wise, esp. compared to the other virtues, and it is more the combination of certain virtues.

I'd be hard pressed to name 3 deadly paladins in the past 5 years, and in that same period there has probably been more deathful transmuters or evil conjurers than there has been deathful paladins.
