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.)

If this is the first time you've played PLD (or any other job) since ShB redesigned them, you'll need to redo your hotbars. I don't remember if Shield Lob was one of them, but for any skill that was changed you may need to delete the permanently greyed out old version of the skill from your bar and add the new version of the skill.
