That largely depends on if Shield Swipe is still a proc.

There's approximately zero reasons to believe that is not still the case.

Well, it's an ability now, and unlike Reprisal it doesn't actually... do anything (Pacification, but that's largely useless compared to Reprisal's debuff) so having both a CD and a proc seems a bit... strange.

On a related note, anyone else like how nobody is complaining about homogenisation?

Silver lining on underwhelming changes.

It's not homogenization as long as they are still playing differently. As long as PLD and DRK don't get a stacks mechanic to manage and WAR and PLD don't get MP to manage with something like Dark Arts and stuff, it will not be homogenization. They could even put Storms debuffs from WAR on both PLD and DRK and it would still not be homogenization. If they had the exact same DPS output, mitigation and utilities, it would not be homogenisation as long as they are still getting all of these tools with different mechanics. The gameplay is what makes classes homogenized or not in MMOs, not their performances.

The shield swipe buff is awesome and will be great for gameplay too, even if it'll only be a dps buff if you are MTing which is kind of a bummer though.

Happy about the bone being thrown to PLD. Still dream of them getting even -remotely- comparable AoE dmg to DRK/WAR though lol. Like even half of their AoE dmg would be fine man.
