Why we have to always remove signature skills just to make the game simpler and simpler and in the end just boring?
DRK lost lots of its aesthetic and style after SB. Some really cool animations and skills were removed for the shake of "make things simple".
Sure things became a tad simpler but also way more boring.
Would like Holy to be removed from the game? Would like egis to be removed from the game?
Protect is an iconic skill. Tweak it and make it useful. Don't remove it.
The problem with Protect isn't the amount of defense it provides. The problem is that it's fire and forget. You put it up and then ignore it. It's the only skill in the game where it makes sense to macro it such that you can cast it and immediately replace it with something else.

Making it so it provides more defense for a minute on a 3m cooldown or something is more interesting because now I get to decide when I want that extra defense. That would be more interesting.
