1.21a Paladin Ability Changes

[Geabrielle]

war has amazing tanking skills ,what are you talking about, lol. ever since they took guard ability away gld has sucked, they should just give guard back.

The word "tank" involves the stipulation of self survivability, a thing that warrior does NOT have with out massive mage support. Tanking skills involve more than enmity generation as well, a fact a lot of DDs forget in the glory of 'pulling hate' which gives the illusion of 'tanking'. That's NOT tanking that's holding hate until death or the white mage decides you're a burden. A paladin IS a tank by this defination and a warrior is a placebo. Harsh descriptor perhaps but again I'm looking at it from the view of having to keep said placebo alive withut a backup and it's actually not as efficient as it seems from this side of the fence.

rampart, feather foot, sentinel, second wind, foresight, blood bath. all healing or damage mitigation skills that can be used be war. They may not have as much as glad in that department but they do have them.
