Goring Blade Pointless?

[Xenosan]

Aegis Boon == 1.0's Sheltron It blocked magical too iirc and recovered hp

imagine if Bulwark recovered TP & MP for each successful block.

instead of Shield Swipe there was Phalanx (did it give a buff?) and also War Drum - an AOE aggro gen that could be used after any block.

edit: Divine Veil and Clemency had 1.0 equivalents. Royal is the only non-1.0 addition unless I'm mistaken (could be). And as strictly a DPS WS - no utility or added effect - it seems sort of an unimaginative choice on SE's part
