Suggestion - Paladin Identity and new stance?

All of the cross class abilities are remnants from 1.0. You think pld having a decent cure is OP? Well in 1.0 plds could cross class every single conj ability/spell (as all other classes could as well). Meaning, they could use cure 3. Was this overpowered? No. Did you still need a healer? Yes. Did it help tanks survive crazy tank busters, some what.

Speaking of FFXI, plds could even use holy. The biggest difference was attributes and mana pool.

I'm guessing everyone who's thinks pld would be OP for healing is due to "Riot blade", right? Cause that infinite mana gain is just impossible to gauge!

To top it off, casting while tanking or even in melee combat isn't the easiest thing to do. Especially with the amount of magic damage being thrown around that interrupts you. In order to even think about healing, you are without a doubt sacrificing plenty of other things as a tank you could be doing. Such as continuing your enmity/dps rotation. This applies even as OT.

Sadly the biggest raising trump that healers normally have isn't currently in the game. That being reraise.
