re: Spirits Within, isn't that 3000 TP without combo? I can't log in and check, but I'd rather do Flat Blade combos with excess TP and always combo Spirits Within rather than spending the whole 3000 on it, especially considering Phalanx is only 250 if I recall

But anyway, yeah, with Collusion and Antagonize and Vengeance and Flash (lol) and all the other tools the Warrior has I can see your point, they didn't really give Paladin comparable tools, while Blood Bath and Second Wind for Warrior are, I feel, truly comparable to Holy Succor
You can pop block with aegis boon though, and do both war drum/phalanx->Spirit's Within. I think that is what he meant, it isn't an issue of you "having to wait for block" right now. It is the cooldown on the abilities themselves.
