Certain abilities should be off the GCD

[fallacy55]

I'm going to be the oddball and say that shield bash and shield bash are fine as is right now.


At end game (from what I've experienced - Ifrit Hardmode), Tanks are able to hold hate just fine. In fact, you only need 1 PLD to tank Ifrit Hardmode. PLD's stun abilities are the glue to winning that instance.

Before commenting on how things should be adjusted, get to level 50 and experience endgame content to see how the mechanics are utilized.

Skill cap for PLDs is so low it doesn't matter. You literally do nothing but hit 1 2 3 and use cooldowns when taking spike damage.

There is no skill required...thats the point. Half of a PLDs abilities are never used because they have no place in your rotation, even situationaly.
