> I know that I have posted too much already today (and spent too much time on the forum), but something in this rankles at me -- I disagree with you, strongly. Strongly. > 1. Repeat this over and over: You do not give up the use of shield block. You do not give up the use of shield block. ad nasuem, until you get that thought out of your head. What you are given is an option of whether to use your 2h specs or not. You are given something *IN ADDITION* to having shield block. Ok?

You can heal, protect yourself, damage heavily, and maledict targets. Every battle, going into it, there are several options, before, during, and after that you can exercise. That's fun.

Are there times when you have to finess a win? Hell yeah. Are there.. and so on. > In my humble opinion, there is nothing wrong or underpowered about the 2h spec (except that I still don't know what the strike of deliverance does with maces) -- And I'm sure we're going to see some decent players do some major tooling with them. > That being said, some helpfiles on individual templars defenses would be nice, and maybe an easier syntax to use them than typing "templars mid spin," so we wouldn't have to rely on clients so much (for those that don't have them). > Me
