    To be fair, Sword Oath is FAR better than it sounds on paper. Having tanked through Longstop a few times now... yeah, it's a massive difference. So while a cursory glance might suggest that there's an unfortunate tradeoff, experience states that Paladin outclasses Gladiator handily, even if it loses access to a few toys.

    Sword Oath is actually *amazing* on paper, just like it is in game; it's a DPS increase roughly on par with Maim for WARs (50 extra pot per hit; at 2.2 attack speed, that's 56.8 pot/GCD; a PLD will "normally" put out ~305, so it's just under a 20% bonus). A more apt way to say what you're aiming to here is that it is better than it sounds on the tooltip.
