Some PLD changes I'd like to see

Holy Spirit: I don't think it needs to be changed, it just confuses me. Why did they give a frontline fighter a ranged attack before giving him a gap closer? I rarely use this ability outside of mele range. (Except for PvP) It's not like I can use it on the move while closing the gap. I just don't understand the design choice.

I have one word for you my friend - slidecast.

Seriously I've lost count of the number of gaps I've closed while using this ability.

LOL, I know that =) I play smn from time to time. I'm just saying it feels weird. I understand there are times where we are out of mele range but 99.9% of the rest of the time? Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for its removal, I just thought it odd that we got it instead of a gap closer.

Hah! Fair enough.

I think they're going with a 2/3 overlap on some abilities - like how PLD / DRK got a "shield other" ability (or two in PLD's case) and WAR / DRK have the gap closer.

Something something, Tank Identity.

4) Intervention

Another fairly lackluster skill. Right now tank busters aren't dealing enough damage to need more mitigation and PLD really lacks both a gap closer and gauge dump skill.
I, personally, would like to see this changed entirely to:

I don't know if I agree with Intervention being lackluster. I personally think it's great fun to pop rampart / sentinel and then intervention the MT right before a tank buster and watch them take a ton less damage. My only gripe is that it's difficult / irritating to get the correct timing for intervention on abilities that don't have a castbar with them. (I'm looking at you, Lakshmi)
