Reintroduce Goring blade it as a combo

[Rithy255]

I feel like the actual problem with a lot of those things is encounter design. Single and AoE target separation is necessary if you care about precision targeting. Shield Bash is a pretty unique defensive that can provide heavy mitigation in combination with Low Blow, but it's almost never warranted. Keeping Low Blow and Interject separate means a player has to interpret what is happening and respond correctly instead of smashing the universal "stop castbar" button. Defenses that work differently warrant having different defenses. Original Bulwark was terrible for TB but great for mob packs. Guardian having a shield gives it something that Rampart can't do, which is negate damage based status effects. I think all of these are interesting to some extent but they require content that is also interesting. Sheltron and Intervention are the only two that I can safely be consolidated though I personally don't mind having them on separate buttons.

We could go the route of giving tanks deeper DPS rotations, but then I feel like there would be no meaningful distinction between tanks and DPS.

Well lets break it down.

• Single target & Aoe are clearly not important to keep seperate because A lot of paladins rotation is already cleave, confiteor doesn't have a AOE Varation. Cleave AOE good for skills like Holy spirit imo.
• Shield bash is a skill that is never useful in 99.99% of content it's only usecase is deep dungeons, it's unique in the fact it's never used, it holds back space for abilities that could actually be useful/fun.
• I don't know what your even talking about with Low Blow and Interject honestly, both should be merged, both are very niche and should be merged for the sake of having actual room on tanks to put interesting skills.
• Rampart doesn't need to exist mostly because we already have bulwark, sheltron & Guardian Having so many defensives to the point they become useless is bad, I'm mostly in favour if making it so tank has one short defensive and one long + invul, we do not need a bunch of different defensives that just mitigations.

I'm not really convinced by much of what you've said

And just to add theirs already no meaningful difference between tanks and dps, Tanks are already boring slow DPS, they should at least be given fun rotations.
