I dunno how you other Pld's do it, but for me Sword Oath on openers where everyone is doing max deeps with cd's and pots Shield Swipe for me was what allowed me to only use Halone for the debuff so I could do more dps. I guess it will be tested but I fear not having Shield Swipe available whenever it procs (and now less potency) I fear I will have to Halone more in Sword and thus really I would consider it a dps loss. Great for Shield Oath, bleh for Sword Oath which is more important to be in AMAP IMO
