Can I please have my abilities back?

[Shioban]

And how did Holy Succur and Divine Veil make PLD something other than "a basic sword and board job"? I wouldn't regard those abilities as any more sophisticated than the current basic pair of combos and other various abilities.

Divine Veil

Blocks all physical attacks and grants a healing over time effect to all party members within range when Cure and Cura spells are cast on you by other players.

Holy Succor

Restores HP of target. When cast on another player, you also heal 50% of the amount restored.

I want you to point out, why these wouldn't be benefitial and provide a slight bit more complexity to PLD.

Currently all PLD has is defensive cooldowns "Block Rate Incease" "Defence Increase" and "Cover".

Aegis Boon

Recover behind the safety of your shield, increasing defense against frontal attacks and converting blocked damage into HP.

At the very least can be considered to be like 'Bloodbath' from Marauder, but it's still not the same.
