Why does the paladin defensive skills have such a high cooldown?

Vengeance is actually 30% damage reduction. I feel like either Sentinel's duration should be improved, or bulwark's cooldown reduced since it's a lesser mitigation tool.

I would rather visit why Shadow Wall is 30% and at 3mins CD, the skill is worse than Sentinel while Vengeance pretty much trumps Shadow Wall with less CD and more effect. At least Sentinel has its niche for being highest mitigation skill except for Hallowed Ground and PLD already has Sheltron which is ridiculously strong in most fights because it now reduces magic attacks and tank busters, it makes less sense why Sentinel needs to be buffed when Shadow Wall falls short compared to the other 2 skills. Bulwark prolly need less CD, but it's a pretty reliable blocking tool, remember that block can reduce magic dmg now.

Oh no doubt Shadow Wall needs to get looked at. It should, at the very least, have the same cooldown as Vengeance. It's one of the major reasons that DRK's mitigation is so bad right now.

It's so stupid they removed shadowskin. Like with the animations they removed from WAR, SS had an awesome theme matching animation and we literally get the same skill but with the lame as hell animation rampart has.

Because letting them slot SS, Rampart, and shadow wall is to much mitigation even though it's basically what WAR and PLD have. Never mind that PLD learns DRK's level 70 skill at like level 55 or something.

And Shadow Wall still only has 10 seconds? What a joke.
