Weapon preference, gameplay preference, thematic reasons, aesthetics, etc. The argument is worn and overused. And has been debunked several times.

Of course, you seem to be under the impression that we want to be able to heal and nuke and support and enfeeble and melee well all at the same time. Far from the case, but don't let it stop you from thinking us the harbingers of the apocalypse.
you are upset because you don't get to take advantage of a Paladin hate tactic.
What annoys me are the implications. We have shield mastery but abysmal shield skill, not to mention little to no hate tools of our own. Then the only announced change for this patch is a freaking healer-oriented trait despite all the other aspects and parts of our job that need to be looked at. Specially seeing how many ideas and discussions have taken place over the years. Between Escrime, Spellblade/Botta Majica, the En Garde variations, not to mention all those enspell adjustments, I thought there might be something worth using in there.
