I'm gonna assume Provoke, Convalescence, and Rampart are pretty much going to be mandatory role skills Tanks should take.

Not liking the royal authority change comboing off of riot blade. It makes it harder to use when main tanking because before you could get away with not having to roh much. Before you could use fast, savage, RA while maintaining hate while main tanking due to the fact that savage gave enmity now to use the highest damage combo FB, RB, RA none of those provide enmity and dps will pass you on hate if you don't use the lower potency roh combo.

I always found Convalescence very lackluster on paladin it depends on people healing you to take advantage of it and I have no control on how much a healer will be healing me. Never really noticed the effects that much.

I main DRK.

I always took it as a marginal increase towards people healing me and the fact I only had amazing skills like Mercy Stroke and Fracture to choose from as my other options.

Here I dunno if the AoE provoke is worth taking. I'll probably run Rampart,Provoke,Stun,Silence,Reprisal if I can get away with it.

Convalescence has a really good utility with Living Dead. At least on DRK will be a main role action.

Unless I'm mistaken. DRK will only have defensive CDs Dark Mind (60 sec, only magic), Shadow Wall (180 sec), and Living Dead (300 sec). ...We're tanks right?

I think healers are going to expect Conva lol. Rampart's a given, but if Dark Dance is a physical defense shortcoming now, before being removed, oh my. Getting a little jealous of the PLD shield now.

At 70 we'll probably have to spam Black Night when applicable at healthy MP to make up for lack of defensive skills. I would love it if it was just a buff instead of a duration so you put up a HP shield and reapply once it falls off. But nope 5 second duration.

Remember the the Def. cooldown for DRK in the job trailer? The one where he points his sword in the air, there's that as well. From what I heard from Mr.Happy, this skill requires 50 blood and some mp, but when you use on yourself, it makes a barrier up to 20% of your max HP.
