Champion is in a decent spot in Classic. However, he has somewhat of a hard time fitting in group RvR. For this reason we are -besides the style tweaks- giving him a new unique shout in Valor, which will increase his appeal in group play primarily. First because he now has another interrupt tool making his frontline presence stronger, second because he can debuff for a single caster that would otherwise have no debuff at all, or, in some occaions, for a fellow hybrid such as the Valewalker. In all, this change does not do much for him in solo play, but mainly increases his grouping appeal, which is what we intended.
