The opportunity cost of shield bash is too darned high

[Ehayte]

Not too rewarding to be the person insulted to death when your Shield Bash is resisted because someone else is stunning, though...

A. Stawman | B. You should tell the other party members that NO stuns should be preformed throughout the fight at all, and explain why. Every person you educate will potentially educate 7 more people next time, who will in turn educate 7 more people. Its an epidemic!

Just because Warrior has problems doesn't mean that Paladin is perfect.

Yeah WARs are pretty bad right now, I just don't think we should be requesting to soak up developer resources when there are a huge amount of more blatant and serious issues with other classes.

I dislike fights where my role (in any game) is primarily or exclusively stunning. It's not rewarding beyond the first time.

Which you choose to opine I guess, but I do get a sense of satisfaction every time I see Eruption cut short and a satisfying crunch when my shield hits Ifrit! You could also make the healer's lives easier by doing something like Cover + Hallowed Ground on the MT to lighten healer loads if things get rough. That wouldn't mess with your stunning, wouldn't kill you, and would help out the team.

A) Agreed. Sorry about that.
B) Tried that. Usually people are quite understanding, yet you still can find some DRGs Leg Sweeping.. But, just like you suggested, after a wipe due to a resist I try to explain what happened and why. I get some flak from certain people, though, just like I mentioned (in a bit of an exaggerated fashion)

Also, I'm glad you find the stun duty fulfilling and satisfactory. For me it's quite the opposite. Boring and downright frustrating more often than not. To each their own
