    Aegis Boon, Holy Succor and Divine Veil/Regen would be great abilities to have back. People saying them having heals wouldn't make sense because of their lore as Sultanate knights also forget they have an ability called Rage of Halone, named after a deity mainly worshiped by Ishgard and not really related to Uldah. If anything them having heals would make sense because Uldah's main deity is Nald'Thal and that deity's aspects are life and death, curing is all about giving life so there you go.

    Keyword: mainly.

    From what I've seen even those who focus their prayers on one deity still respect all twelve, they don't turn monotheist or call the other false gods, I don't see how a skill named after one of the twelve doesn't make sense.

    But lore apart, it wont happen just because of game balance, healer classes provide enough heals.

    If you read Ishgardian lore, you know that every house's Guard is made up of Knights. Even their shields have their house logo. The Coliseum is attached to the Gladiator's guild, where warriors from all over come to prove themselves.

    Rage of Halone is a Gladiator Skill, not a PLD Job skill. It could have been adopted by the guild if it was proven and tested in the Coliseum. Where an Ishgardian is more than welcome to participate in and where the name most likely came from.

    Also if I remember version 1.0's lore, Lulusu at the Colosseum during the original 1.0 GLA class quests stated that Rage of Halone was a special skill originally used by the infamous roegadyn GLA Greinfarr (which was also known as 'the lost blade technique') - it was his special move that became synonymous with him.

    So the actual name doesn't need to have any connection to the Guild at all, it was simply a name a specific character gave to that attack, and it became known by that moniker from then on.

    Also the name makes sense from 1.0s original description:
    Halone guides your weapon, dealing piercing damage. Increases attack power in proportion to the amount of damage sustained while readying.
