Tank Role actions

[Valaeric]

I'm hoping role skills is going to be unlimited, otherwise this is a kick in the teeth to PLD and DRK, taking our native actions and making us put them in the limited cross class pool.

Think it was said, and it definitely appeared to be the case in the vid thus far, that one can only pick up to 5 out of the 10 actions.

they lose wrath , and sense bloodbath is melee Im wondering if they lose bloodbath that would be super messed up if they did

They didn't lose wrath. They reworked it, renamed it, and made it better and showed that it's even better for burst damage which is a direct upgrade.

Seems like PLD is getting a AoE with their sword, can block magical damage with it's shield (a expansion late), and it's "wings" ability lowers down damage by 15% for those that stand behind them in a cone. I'm hoping we'll get better things, if not I don't think much will really change in tank hierarchy in raids. But at least PLD will be a bit more viable in Dungeons.

Also gives the Paladin a 100% Block Rate.

I better rummage around for the highest block strength shield I can find...

I just saw the drg do low blow in the skills showcase video tho

[whiteblade89]

Was not expecting them to take reprisal from dark Knight. And low blow. Are they still going to have the chance to proc low blow off of CD when they Parry? Will all tanks be able to do that? Or is that trait going away for good? Not sure how I feel about that

The new Low Blow cross-class replaces both Brutal Swing for WAR and the ability with the same name for DRK. PLD looks like they retain Shield Bash for the same TP cost, presumably on GCD.

Reprisal is now cross-class, but note that WAR has lost the debuff effect from Storm's Path. As an aside, it's worth also worth noting that the Maim and Storm's Eye effects are now switched. PLD seems to have lost Shield Swipe.

PLD seems to have lost Shield Swipe.

I lost count of how many times they adjusted that skill.

yeah, i was hoping they will further increase the whole parry, then counter attack thing for DRK, not taking it away >.>

seems like they removed the counter-tank style from DRK and buffed PLDs magic tanking capabilities. i guess they also buffed his damage with these fancy attacks? WAR will likeley stay the go to off-tank, how many fell cleaves were that? xD so where stays DRK now?
