PLD is just boring

The problem with this is, yes you can drop the oath to to hit them, but the gained damage is only worth it if you stay dropped for a period of time since re-enabling shield oath is going to cost you a DPS drop from the GCD. this means a bigger enmity loss as well the longer you stay dropped.

Eh, I'm just not keen on being able to stance dance as freely as DRK and WAR. I like that the tanks stances are different, I think PLD just needs a little extra adjustment around our stances to differentiate them a bit in a way that you can feel rather than math (and also a bit of damage boost in Shield wouldn't go amiss .)

DRK incurs just as much of a penalty when trying to stance dance. Applying Grit takes one GCD & enough MP for one Dark Arts use. You run an extremely high risk of losing DPS on DRK if you pull Grit back within 30 seconds, and that's before considering potential healer DPS lost. I'd be willing to bet 99% of DRK have no idea how many of which attacks need to get through to make up for it, most still think Blood Weapon grants an extra attack.
