Why is this? I remember when ruin 2 had blind on it and stone 1 had heavy. I understand those changes but I see no reason deleting something like flash. It was pretty unique and added variety to the skills. Now that paladin has a "proper" aoe rotation they could have easily made it non-GC ability and added some damage to it, but no, they just had to cut it along with shield swipe.

There is no downside to adding debuffs to some skills, it has literally 0 negative effects and only adds to the flavour/uniqueness of the ability. Especially dark knight is a missed opportunity on this, I feel they could have given him a blind.
Don't forget when Rage of Halone had a Strength Debuff on it. Disembowel also use to have a piercing debuff I believe. Rage of Halone is obviously totally gone now but I believe disembowel is still there.
