Seriously, what is up with Awareness? The paragon of a useless ability if I've ever seen one. And what's worse is that we waste a trait on the ability extending its duration for 5 whole seconds. I can't think of any of the other classes having an ability that really has no purpose.
For those who don't know Awareness reduces the chance of suffering critical damage by 25% for 20s with a 2 minute cooldown. So basically you have a 25% chance to not get hit by an attack that only has a 5% chance of happening in the first place. But really I can't think of any situation where suffering a critical hit would be detrimental to a GLA/PLD in the grand scheme of things. Especially when we have abilities which would negate a large percentage of that critical hit's damage anyways.Â
I agree. Give Cover to Gladiator as the Lv34 ability, ditch Awareness and Sword Oath, and give us Succor and a DD weaponskill that combos off of either Shield Swipe or Riot Blade(another pretty useless GLA ability).
