    Shield Smash

    New job trait for PLD, since the job utilizes shields, why not add a trait that throws in an additional attack round by using the shield as a -blunt- based attack?

    Since PLD isn't intended to be a DD, make it so the damage is determined by the shield's DEF rating. IE Aegis = DEF: 40 so the equivalent of a DMG 40 club.

    It works somewhat like Kick Attacks for MNK or DA for WAR, so that the PLD has a chance of tossing in an extra round, however it is low damage, you gain 0 TP for a hit, it generates higher enmity than a regular attack would, and is 100% accurate, no chance of miss. Activation rate is ~5%.

    Any thoughts?

    With stats like that, what's the point? Weak damage for a single hit that Shield Bash as a JA outdmgs, no TP gain, 5% activation rate... would be less useful than Tactical Parry.

    Well, if it stunned 100% like Shield Bash does (Except on a few NMs) then it could have it's uses, but as described, it really won't help all that much.

    add in some debuffs that players can't inflict through JAs or spells and you might have something (En-Amnesia anyone? even if it's only ~five seconds)
