As for the whole TP loss thing, people already swap shields? I don't really see that, if there's a magic heavy mob then Aegis, otherwise Ochain and just go for an MDT set when being nuked, there are situations where you will swap shield midfight, AA Mithra for example, but I don't know of any PLD that are constantly swapping shields midfight.
Look I just think it would be broken, PLD can already sit there in 50% PDT with a very high block rate, then being able to just casually swap to 87.5% MDT all the while not worrying about losing TP so, DD wise there is no threat to enmity generation, it would be cool if there's no TP loss on changing shields but I just think it would make PLD too strong as a tank.
