I tried to ask a bit about this a while back but never got an answer, was curious if maybe you guys would be willing to shed some light on this.

Templars defense. There's several maneuvers, many seem redundant, are they literally redundant for purposes of atmosphere (IE, to make for RP-esque fighting) or are there effects that aren't shown in the help files or through the echoes?

I've had four 2h dedicant paladins, I still can't figure out why I'd bother with most of these. The obvious tells me that there are hidden things going on, is there any hope to shed some more in depth light on this skill in the helpfiles so that we players have a shot of figuring what these things do? I don't want to get all number crunchy or ask my friends to test stuff out with me or run 'experiments' to determine formula's or whatever.

I just want a general idea of what X does and why I'd use it, any chance of that happening? I think if you take a look around its pretty apparent that most players really have no idea about this skill, even people who've had multiple paladins with hundreds of hours of play.
