Sustain on is something I'd want to see back too but it was a dps loss to even use. And you can actually(as annoying as it is to do) just manually move your pets out of any aoe that actually does damage to it. I don't usually see my pet die anyway, the only time I remember consistently was Doma Castle. If it does return it needs to be an oGCD.

Sustain being a DPS loss to use is irrelevant though. It's not a DPS skill. It's a support skill to keep your pet up when it takes damage. As for moving your pets out of AOE... that's actually more of a DPS loss than using Sustain since you have to manually place the ground target. That's also ignoring the fact that there are a number of raid-wide AOEs that you cannot move your pet out of that will kill them without healing. A heal skill for our pets is mandatory.

Or they could leave it with separate names, animations, and slightly varying functionality... If it were truly mandatory AND moved to Role Skills, you'd have to sacrifice another Role Skill to carry it. If it's "mandatory" and a native skill, you can always just... not put it on your bar if you think otherwise.

a.k.a. (Role-Skill Rampart was no more or less than an awkward and roundabout WAR defensive buff.)
