[suggestion] shield action=shield spikes [dev1123]

phalanx is a counter attack, not quite the same, at all, lol

like eurantien pointed out, it exist in ffxi as an ability for paladin class so there is no reason why it can work in 14.

Because we don't have Paladin yet? Paladin will come out after patch 1.20.

this does not have to be a copy of ff11, glad could have it, and it doesn't have to work the same either. I don't know why people argue such dumb stuff. I hope they dont just copy all the paladin abilities and paste them in 14.

Because it has to deal with the game balance. Paladin was an advanced class in FFXI, Gladiator in FFXIV is not. Tank =/= DD, you already have many way to contribute damage in the fight. If you are asking for an edge over the other classes, people will do the same for their own classes, and it will end up in a mess when they try to balance things out.

For instance I also want my LNC to have a LNC-only Wyvern pet that do extra damage and heal me. On top of my already high DPS and HP absorb.

I don't think having 1 defensive DD ability would give glad an edge and make everyone jump off the arch bandwagon. It's an ability that plays into the style of battle that glads have. It would be up to the developers to balance it so it doesn't do to much damage to through the game out of whack.
