I think you're not realizing that an oGCD cannot be a DPS loss ? Even if its potency was 1 it would still be an increase compared to what using it provides in 3.0, because it's changing from being on the GCD to being off the GCD, it's basically FREE DAMAGE. What's wrong with you guys not understanding that ? The fact that it requires an activator doesn't change anything and the activator required which is blocking is happening super often with a PLD. Sheltron gives you the possibility to at least get that Shield Swipe every 30 sec, you just need a random block in between these 30sec in order to have it almost on cooldown. That's a fucking good buff to the skill and an actual increase in DPS AND enmity generation for PLD, and it means that it will require less RoH to maintain aggro, thus leading into more DPS gain from having the possibility to use RA more.
