New tanking abilities in the expansion thread!

[Brannigan]

Assuming around 4 new abilities and a new trait, I'd like to see a few things for paladin

-a WS that combos off of Shield Swipe that helps us do damage while tanking (grants a buff, has high potency by itself, or temporarily removes Shield Oath penalty, whatever)
-a WS that combos off of Savage Blade and changes its effects based on which oath you're in
-a useful spell that consumes a lot of MP (healing, damage, or otherwise)
-an on-demand shield block that consumes MP
-a trait that supports an actual rotation for us (adding a buff/debuff to a WS, increasing our skillspeed, or whatever)

Basically I hope the dev team actually makes paladin use its MP, because right now it's just the Stoneskin and Flash meter. Changing oaths (for the added effect on the WS after Savage), casting heals, and forcing shield blocks to consume MP and then refilling it with lots of Riot Blades could be the paladin equivalent of wrath. Shield Swipe also needs to be a lot better than it is right now. I use it, but it's only barely worth the effort of pressing.

I expect that both Warriors and Dark Knights will get an equivalent to Hallowed Ground and also that both Paladins and Dark Knights will get an equivalent to Inner Beast in the form of low-recast mitigation. Really, I can't think of anything else Warrior actually needs to be a complete class, so they'll probably get another Wrath consuming ability and maybe a party buff or something.

One thing I really hope they don't add is an AOE attack for paladin. Paladin really needs more stuff it can use while tanking bosses and in every fight, and AOE attacks are a little more situational than that.
