Just some ideas I'd love to have in Soldier's class. Especially the shield ones. Shields on the Soldier class deserves to be more than gloves that grant the Guard skill, I say.

Decisive Strike

Sword, Axe, Polearm and Dagger skill.

Dash in a straight 5-tile line in front of you. If you encounter an enemy during this dash, you stop immediately and perform a Basic Attack that applies the Flatfoot status, as if you had Bashed them.

If Charge is active, the dash range is increased by its level.

Cross Slash

Sword, Axe, Polearm and Dagger skill.

Strike an enemy within 1 tile. If the attack hits and is not parried, you will follow up with a second strike. This second attack is a guaranteed critical hit with Great Accuracy.

Battle Spirit

Costs 1M. 6% Max HP.

Temporarily enchant yourself with the power of Nerhaven (or your Starsign element if applicable), and gain Battle Spirit until the start of your next turn.

While Battle Spirit is active, your next Basic Attack or Elemental Impact effect from either skill or spell will deal 15% more damage and ignore parry attempts. This effect ends after the empowered attack is made. 

Interjection

Shield skill.

Select and mark one ally within 5 Range. When that ally is targeted by an enemy's offensive skill or spell, and you are within 5 range of them, you automatically throw your shield at the attacker, dealing Blunt damage and having a STR-based chance to interrupt their action.

This can only happen once per round. You cannot target yourself, nor people already affected by Interjection.

Rampart
Shield skill.

0M. (3 Round CD when ended.) 

Shift into a full defensive stance. While Rampart is active, you raise your shield to hold the line, increasing your parry chance by 25%. (If no parry skill is equipped, you gain "Rampart" parry, which reduces incoming damage by 25%).

While in this stance, offensive skills and all spells are locked, and your Move is reduced by 75%. Attackers in 1 range have a chance to be knocked back, and another chance to be knocked down.

Activate the skill again to end the stance.

Controlled Aggression

Shield skill.

0M. (3 Round CD when ended.) 

Stow your shield and adopt a fully offensive posture. While Controlled Aggression is active, your shield and all parry skills are disabled, but you gain +20 SWA. 

Activate the skill again to end the stance.
