Shield Lob is Broken

I pulled out my Paladin for the first time since ShB was released, and quickly found Shield Lob doesn't work. It's grayed out on the crossbar and clicking it gives a "cannot use yet" error. Error messages from other skills:

Cannot use yet - Shield Lob and Shelltron (without oath charge)
Not ready yet - Any skill in cooldown
Action not yet learned - Actions above my level
Cannot be used as current class - Skills that have been removed

• Yes, I've completed the level 15 quest to acquire it (as well as all the class quests and job quests up to 70)
• There are no quests available in the Gladiator's guild
• I don't have access to it as a Paladin or Gladiator

Any thoughts on it?

Do you have a shield equipped?

You need a shield equipped to use sheild lob

Thanks, that's the issue. I half-arsed it gearing up.

More drink for this lala and his equipment malfunctions! :D

Why don’t you RP as shieldless Paladin ?
You can Shield Charge then AOE instead of Shield Lob.
Shield’s stats can be ignored if you don’t do savage or primal-EX .

Can't do shield lob without a shield but can do a shield charge without one.... Unacceptable.

This...
I’ve been waiting for this kind if response.Thank you, you’ve made my day.

Before the garo event finishes, you can get a spirit shield, which is just an invisible shield :D
I use it with my Lightning glamour on my PLD, which uses the blazefire sabre.
(Would also be nice of my GNB could use the blazefire sabre.)
