Inspiring Triumph and Enduring beacon question

[3x0du5]

Do these abilities give bonus defenses to paladin himself ?

[Boeroer]

Enduring Beacon works on the Paladin as well.

Inspiring Triumph does not.

Blah could be the other way around at least or both should work on paladin 

[Boeroer]

Inspiring Triumph was the same in PoE1. No idea why the Paladin her-/himself isn't included. But that's also the case with several (if not all?) Exhortations: can only be cast on allies, not the Paladin - while stuff like Lay on Hands can.

Maybe because it would raise his defenses too high (since it's a passive and stacks with everything) while he could be skilled for total offense.

This is very easy to mod though.

Maybe this could be added to community patch in case it gets another update would be really nice
