4.0 tank buff ability changes, please don't do this

[Ultimatecalibur]

The problem with this idea is the more things they just turn into a universal button to make way for new things at the level is that it's still not considering their plan to keep our button count the same.

You are confusing things. They said to different things that they will be moving must have skills (such as Provoke and Rampart/Shadowskin) to a Role skill list and that they will be reducing button bloat by replacing old abilities with higher level abilities. Traits will likely be changing how some current abilities work. We will not be getting 5 new abilities in 61 to 70 like we did 51 to 60. We will likely be getting only 1 or 2 new abilities with the rest of the improvements being from existing abilities upgraded by traits.

The Paladin is cutting these skills that go in the 5 cross class skill slots:

• Cure
• Foresight
• Skull Sunder
• Fracture
• Protect
• Bloodbath
• Raise
• Mercy Stroke
• Stoneskin

Warrior is cutting these skills that go in those 5 slots:

• Savage Blade
• Featherfoot
• Flash
• Second Wind
• Convalescence
• Haymaker
• Internal Release
• Provoke
• Awareness
• Mantra

Dark Knight is cutting these skills that go in those 5 slots:

• Foresight
• Skull Sunder
• Fracture
• Bloodbath
• Mercy Stroke
• Savage Blade
• Flash
• Convalescence
• Provoke
• Awareness

All 3 Tanks are replaced those skills with a Role Skill list likely containing these and possibly other abilities and they are intending that we will switch stuff out based on the needs of content:

• Provoke (mentioned in the announcement)
• Rampart/Shadowskin (mentioned in the Korean Live Letter)
• Convalescence (likely)
• Awareness (likely)
• Bloodbath (possibly)
• Mercy Stroke (possibly)

4 of these abilities are currently Gladiator/Paladin abilities. Moving these from the Gladiator/Paladin skill list to the Role Skill list will free up 4 ability slots and 2 trait slots.
