stop stripping tanks skills and abilities and adding them as role actions

[ArianeEwah]

Well, I get that Rampart didn't need to be a role skill. Pre-SB every tank got a defensive skill that gave 20% mitigation (after acquireing trait) except for WAR, Foresight simply increased (physical) defense, but that could have just been changed.

Provoke on the other hand was a cross class skill, and you needed GLD on Lv 22* for it. And it was mandatory!
Now, most new tanks in HW were DRK and they probably didn't (/barely) even touched GLD, image the chaos in their first trail ex duty: "You need to provoke!" "What's provoke?"
Also, I get that oGCD stun and silence are role skills. Not having access to silence was bad for WAR and DRK, and SE removed the damage from thier stuns (Brutal Swing/original Low Blow).

Convalescence and Awareness also were GLD/PLD original skills, but available for every tank via cross class. Only loss for PLD here: no 30% healing increase they had through their trait.

Anticipation, yeah, I hate that they took Dark Dance from DRK and gave it to every tank without any compensation for DRK. WAR has Raw Intuition, PLD Bulwark, there was no need.

Ultimatum and Shirk are really nice additions and they fit in role skills pretty well. Reprisal is also better designed than previous versions. Perma-damage-down-debuff on bosses was lame. (Still miss the procs for DRK)

So, abilities you should have access to all the time: Rampart (Shadowskin/Foresight), Convalescence, Awareness, Provoke

Abilities you can chose from role skills: stun, silence, Ultimatum, Shirk

Not sure about Reprisal and Anticipation (or any other skill, and give Dark Dance back to DRK).

Edit:

Provoke on the other hand was a cross class skill, and you needed GLD on Lv 34 for it.

No, that was Awareness. Provoke was 20-something (I think 23).

You are right, I searched for it in the web archives and it was on Lv 22. And yes, Awareness was on Lv 34.
