Hey Storm, the amount of effort you put into this suggestion doesn’t go unnoticed. I will make sure that I finish reading it along with our skill team.
Really enjoy the icons as well

When Shield Rush was made, the Sentinel, Paladin and Forge Guard didn’t exist yet so it was a Void Knight skill. We did know that it wouldn’t stay that way forever but we may have leaned in to that fantasy a little too hard.
As a broader design choice, we want to make the Paladin and Forge Guard be more shield focused than the Void Knight in general. So I really like your base premise for this suggestion as it fits perfectly with that design.
While I can’t promise that we will just do a copy paste of everything here, you’ve got some really great ideas and I’ve saved this thread for later.
I am focusing more on new skills right now but this will not be forgotten.
If you want an easier way of setting this sort of thing up I can give you a template for Google drawings.
This is really great. Thanks for the suggestions and well thought-out approach to your reasoning. Definitely going to be looking at this.
This is a fantastic example of how you can write a really long suggestion document that is easy to digest because all the points are clear and concise.
