[QUOTE="Gladius Legis, post: 7823422, member: 68748"] Oath of Ancients has one blatantly situational CD feature and one that is easy for high-STR or high-DEX enemies to make a save against. Oath of Vengeance has one situationally useful CD and one that is fantastic but only used against bosses. Oath of the Crown has one situational CD and another that's pretty mediocre in general. Oath of Conquest, OK, both are useful pretty often. Oath of Redemption has two incredibly situational CDs that are moreso than Devotion on their worst day. So, no, not every other subclass has "at least one non-situational, bread and butter ability." As several posters above have mentioned, it's not just for ambushes. The thing lasts 10 rounds. If you're in a situation where you expect combat to happen within the minute, which is pretty often, go ahead and pop it and you'll still get use out of it. You are mistaken. Redemption is the weakest, by far. And Crown is usually considered not much better; it's saved by one Oath spell from being at the very bottom. Devotion is average or slightly above average. (Also somewhat of a tangent, I consider Ancients somewhat overrated by many. It's good, but many overlook that the aura which halves spell damage does not work against non-spell AoEs such as dragon's breath.) It doesn't need to be fixed. [/QUOTE]
