How to Make Darcozzi Better?

[Cyrus_Blackfeather]

Hey guys, 

 

So, I'm working on a Holy Slayer build for my Principi main, and I'm a bit torn as to what subclass to play. Bleak Walker and Goldpact seem like the best in gameplay terms, but for a pirate/privateer character, Darcozzi seems to fit the most thematically. But then, from a gameplay perspective, it's easily the weakest of the Orders - only offering a dinky little fire shield with its Lay on Hands. 

 

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, perhaps for a mod of some sort, that could offer Darcozzi something that'd allow it to stand on its own as a respectable subclass?

Paladin is a strong class without sub-class buffs, as much as I hate to say this (Goldpact for life). 

 

If you want to utilize Dracozzi's bonus, make enemies hit you, stack +engagement, keep deflection low-ish and armor high (Patinated Plate) to benefit from the Dracozzi's flame shield.
