    i heard it can get nutty with onion shield... its already good with zenith...
    when used in conjunction with bulwark, it can be a beast of a skill...
    I'm not convinced that a change is needed here, but if it gets taken off GCD, i would recommend putting a cooldown timer on it so it cant be used repeatedly over a short duration of time. Got to keep balance in mind.

    Adding a defensive utility too it might be too powerful now that onion shield is already accessible.

    I'm not seeing how a 210 potency skill that increases pally dps by 1%~ moreorless would be a beast of a skill in any setting, even if procing 30%+ of the time. You could take it off your skillbar and still be able to perform with the exact same effectiveness. Its clear the skill needs to be reworked in some way for some utility especially for endgame.

    Ideally I'd envision the skill with a 30s CD and a 5-10 second duration depending on the potency of the effects.

    It would definitely need a cooldown and to have its potency reduced. Maybe 10s for 50 potency or something like that. Even small off GCD abilities can add quite a bit to DPS because they're straight benefit with no drawback.
