Paladin Stamina Styles

I have not found a use for the Empathic Guard style for Paladins. The style only lasts about 10 seconds and completely drains your stamina to zero. It is possible that I do not use it in the right situations, but I would rather keep my stamina than burn it for 10 seconds and become exhausted. Once turned on there it cannot be turned off, either. I am curious to know if it is draining stamina faster than it should, if stamina is drained based on damage dealt to the party, etc.

Also, the style Guiding Blade is not available for use in-game (it does not even appear on the .style list) but it does appear on the forum post of stamina styles. Was it taken out of the Paladin styles or just an accident that it is not there?

As for the others, here is how I use them:

I rarely use Guarding Blade at all. If I am tanking I prefer the use of sword and shield. If I were to attain a godly 2hs, I could foresee myself using this style versus the living, but not against undead.

I love Cleansing Blade, crit's versus undead are great.

Stoical Will is purely situational, I've only used it against Dragon Roar or Enchanter mobs.

Banishing Strike is a very fun style. I typically use it when I'm drunk or my group is in an emergency and something needs to die FAST.

The only area I feel I don't have a useful style in is against living mobs. Perhaps if Guiding Blade were implemented it would cover that gap I feel I'm missing. If this is going to be left out, is it possible to implement something that could help this lacking area? I'm not that great with ideas so I'll let someone else think of it.
 
It was taken out because Paladins had more styles than other hybrids. Empathic Guard will probably be redone.
 
Would it be possible to remove Stoical Will and implement Guiding Blade instead? The Stasis Preserver in ToFS still mezzed me when the Stoical Will style was active. I would prefer GB over SW.
 
Heh, yeah, I was going to ask about those too.

Stoical is nice, I can find use for it in some situations.

Guiding blade would be cool :(

Empathic guard would be useful for basically a main tank save, and that's about it. It's okay for groups (but only if healing goes awry), and slightly decent for raids (If I was ever in the same group as glorious Aratar, since I don't die for the cause enough yet.

Banishing Strike and C-blade are <3.

Could it be possible that you made BS only do 1/3 or 1/2 of it's damage to living mobs, or would that just be ridiculous?

He broke through my Willful style as well. I think it's because he doesn't actually use mez, he puts you in stasis. Whether this is a bug or not, I don't know.
 
Stoical Will and Wall of Will will not protect against unresistable spells.
