So wait, after this is implemented, I will lose all of my shield abilities that I gained from lvl 25-50 sentinel, because my gladiator is only lvl 24? If I am reading this right, I am not a happy camper. Some of those shield skills are obviously not for casters, like War Drum (lol), but others are pretty darn useful for solo'ing.

Ah well, I guess we'll just have to see how it works out. I'd be happy with casters getting different shield skills than tanks.
