That's just plain wrong. Convalescence was a cross-class ability for you before. It still is. It was a baseline ability for me, and a buffed one at that. I now have to give up a role slot to get it back, instead of actually acquiring an additional ability. That is a loss for paladin and only paladin, while the status quo is preserved for the other two classes, which have only ever had it through cross-class. The same goes for Provoke, Awareness, Interjection, and Rampart (with respect to Warrior only). If I want those things back, I can't use any other cross-class ability. DRK's losses were Shadow Skin, Low Blow, Reprisal, and Dark Dance, not the PLD borrowed abilities. The PLD borrowed abilities are all losses for PLD at this point, which has to spend a role slot on them just to almost get back to where it started. It's cool if you guys don't like the changes to your classes or think there need to be buffs or whatever, but trying to distort the situation isn't helpful.
