Tank Role actions

All silences are 1 second long. If you don't like that, the Mogstation is over there.

On topic: As a Dark Knight, these changes to the role system seem... curious. I'm wondering if Rampart is supposed to be more of a "I didn't see the buster coming" ability now, rather than the bread and butter for PLD and DRK. The changes we saw of Sheltron (consuming 50 "oath") implies that Sheltron may be similar in power now to Inner Beast (consumes 50 "inner beast"), likewise, it is safe to assume Dark Knights got a version of Sheltron or Inner Beast as well that interacts with Blackblood.

As for Low Blow and Reprisal, the loss in potency will likely be recovered elsewhere. Awareness and Convalescence I have always viewed as sort of "these are nice, but low tier" abilities, in fact, I'm kind of irritated Awareness is still around. Interject is just nice to have.

Shirk, going by icon and name alone, is most likely some form of Shadewalker, which is a very useful ability for tanks to get. Likewise, Anticipation may be a role-wide method of dealing with single, hard-hitting magic attacks.

Now, the big two: Provoke and Ultimatum. Provoke will likely be "mandatory" for most raid fights, but being a more defensive and flexible tank might be preferred in dungeons if you feel comfortable with your enmity generation. Ultimatum I see little use for. It's a cute ability, but it's probably the weakest role action in the bunch. The small radius combined with the long cooldown means its only good if you're very quick at reacting, but even then, it's still a provoke, which means you need to have an AoE enmity skill lined up with it. Honestly, I rather see something else here, Ultimatum feels like a crutch for players that need two crutches.
