    'Retro' aestethics on role actions

    TL;DR: Bring back our old unique role actions/animations! Add new ones to GNB.

    Since patch 4.4 role actions were not limited, and since 5.0 role actions have been revised as normal leveling abilities - well, more or less... essentially.

    Now that this limitation has been lifted, I wonder why not just revise them to the old abilites, e.g. Shadowskin instead of Rampart on DRK?
    I will be honest... Rampart doesn't fit the other tanks, Low Blow doesn't fit PLD either. Also, I miss those cool old animations on WAR and DRK.

    What I would like to see...
    ...for
    WAR:
    Foresight instead of Rampart

    Brutal Swing instead of Low Blow

    DRK:
    Shadowskin instead of Rampart

    Low Blow old icon and animation (apparently used more effect particles)

    GNB introduce new animations and/or icons. e.g. a hit with the stock/grip of your gun as a stun, and an aether-impured shot for 'rampart' (similar to HoS).

    PLD:
    use 3.x animation on Rampart (apparently used different animation, the current one is a removed PvP skill animation)

    Shield Bash instead of Low Blow?
    They could revise Shield Bash into an oGCD stun. I don't see any use of Shield Bash as a GCD right now. Is is needed in a quest or in certain encounter? It feels like a noob trap skill, as it breaks your combo, spaming it way too often causes the target to get immune to stun, and it has hilarious low poentcy. Am I mistaken? Please prove me wrong!


    Shield Swipe instead of Low Blow

    It could be a more 'unique' stun with 6s duration on 25/30s recast.

    With the exception of PLD stun, nothing would effect balance.
    Those are only aestethic changes I would like to see.
    Have you any more suggestions for changes? Would you welcome such changes or rather keep the current one?

    Bonus for healer actions Esuna:

    SCH:
    Leeches

    AST:
    Exalted Detriment
    Luminiferous Aether instead of Lucid Dreaming?

    WHM:
    Esuna old Icon (and animation? - current Esuna simply uses Leeches icon in blue)
    Shroud of Saints instead of Lucid Dreaming?
    (They are essentially the same with different coloring... did it use a different animation, too?)


    Bonus for melee stun: (17th Sep)

    MNK:
    One Ilm Punch
    or
    Steel Peak
    Both actions used to stun before they got changed/removed. One Ilm Punch even used to remove a buff from the target, so I think Steel Peak would be more suitable for a stun? No clue which animation would be better.

    NIN:
    Jugulate
    In 3.x Jugulate used to stun or silence depending on your current weapon buff. In 4.x it just silenced. Fitting for it so get revived as a stun, right?

    DRG already had Leg Sweep to begin with, SAM would need a new action (Ageha?).
