NA tooltips are always to be distrusted since they've been broken and wrong since Twintania. The changes look great, and I pretty much agree with eagledorf on a lot of stuff. It'd be nice if gauge was used for a couple more things (like Cover or something), but I'm fine with it just being the gatekeeper for Sheltron and Intervention. The main thing is that paladin looks a lot more interesting and PLD/DRK should work fine - though you'll need a Samurai, or sword comp lacks slashing.
It is odd that Tempered Will remained untouched. However, everyone has Sprint for free now. The lack of an instant gap closer might not be that bad. Also, paladin got a sweet new Sprint animation.
