There are a few paladins abilities still on the GCD that do not seem as if they should be.
These are:
- Divine Steed - [Paladin Spell]
- Shield of Vengeance - [Retribution Paladin Spell]
- Eye for an Eye - [Retribution Paladin Talen]
- Divine Shield - [Paladin Spell]
I look at the other specs within the game and just wonder why paladin is so different?

Is it a bug, or intentional?
Now, I can understand Divine Shield not being on the GCD because the strength of the ability, but I do not understand why the other 3 abilities are on GCD still?
Defensive abilities that reflect damage, such as Touch of Karma, are not on the GCD, so I don’t believe that could be it either??
