Sword AND Board: Looking at Paladin in a different light

[VargasVermillion]

My point is that what you are saying makes sense but in most cases it just doesn't happen because you are either in SwO or ShO, there are practically no cases you'll be swapping unless there is a tank swap mechanic which most PLDs would swap oaths in anyway.
Basically it doesn't change anything that PLDs already do and it won't until some other mechanic involving the oaths is introduced. PLD looking to do more damage as MT just tank in SwO anyway.

Some fights are hazy on the whole oath dancing thing - especially if phases get pushed a too fast by DPS and certain attacks/mechanics come earlier than you'd like. In others it works, I've been running T9 as pld, I sit in Sword oath unless I know R-Beak is coming or we're about to transition - the CDs I have available are adequate for surviving without Shield Oath outside of big hitters. I use awareness off CD because i've been taken out by too many crits to bother counting.

I've started using PLD in end game after hitting 50 a few weeks back, already fully geared since I'm a main warrior but learning a new class has been fun. The thing I love about PLD is the utter utility, being able to use the off GCD Stun as a secondary cool down in trash pulls etc etc. Utility on tap is nice.

Wait what? Did you mean Warrior? Because the PLD stun is on the GCD, with a fairly hefty TP cost to boot.

Nope. Meant On GCD. I like that I can use it pretty much whenever I want, great for shorter fights/small trash pulls if I want to save my longer defensive CDs for a bigger pull/nearby boss fight - tp isn't generally an issue if the above criteria is met, if I know I'll need it I wont waste the TP on stuns unless it's to specifically nullify an attack. Personal preference.

I do the same with the warrior stun if applicable, juts not as often as I'd like.
