    Warrior Cross-Class Abilities from Pugilist are Useless 1/3

    Hello Devs, hope this thread reaches you. First of all I would like to congratulate your great work with ARR, i'm enjoying the game very much and I hope you continue to improve the game over the time because it deserves it. Now, to go straight to the point, it is my opinion that Warrior should get cross-class abilities from Lancer and not Pugilist, while continuing to get acess to Gladiator abilites (because overall they are very useful for Warrior, like Flash, Provoke, Convalescence and Awareness, although the latter not so much). It is not my intent to say that Pugilist abilities have no place for Warrior, because Second Wind and Featherfoot are not interely useless: Second Wind can give you a minor help (although negligible) in recovering HP and Featherfoot can be usefull when tanking many mobs and improve one self evasion from those attacks. Still, when comparing Pugilist abilities to Lancer abilities I sincerely don't understand why would you choose Pugilist over Lancer for Warrior. For example, I think Lancer abilities like Keen Flurry, Invigorate and Life Surge would be much more usefull than Second Wind, Featherfoot and Internal Release. Warriors can only mitigate damage from enemies through parry unlike Paladins that can mitigate damage through parry and block, so Keen Flurry would make perfect sense for Warrior since he is a tank and his only way to prevent less damage is by parrying attacks. I don't understand why Lancers have acess to a parry ability and tank roles don't, Lancer and Dragoons are supossed to avoid taking damage, not mitigate it like a tank. I know that for doing solo missions and the main story quests this parry ability can be usefull for Lancers and Dragoons to improve their chances of survival, but still i don't see a viable reason for Warrior not having acess to this parry ability named Keen Flury. Regarding Invigorate, Warrior is a tank class that uses a lot of TP when spamming Overpower to aggro and contol mobs so it is my opinion that Warrior should have acess to this ability. For comparison, i don't understand why Bard has Invigorate and Warrior doesn't. Bard has acess to 2 TP regeneration abilties (Invigorate and Army's Paeon) while Warrior has acess to.. none. This is very unfair and poorly designed in my opinion. In long boss fights Invigorate could be a life savior ability in the future. For last but not least, since I like to think of Warrior as a tank class that drains HP from their enemies, Life Surge would then again make perfect sense for Warrior to use. Its HP recovery would be similar to that of Second Wind, but still i can relate more (in Warrior's perspective) to an ability that drains HP from your enemy through an attack that an auto-cure ability like Second Wind. Well, that's pretty much it, I would really appreciate if you could give it a thought to this matter. Thank you for your attention and keep up the good work. Best regards!
