Suggestion: Divine Veil bonus effect

[hakurou46]

It's a bit of a weird skill; it gives paladins nothing and being able to hit it yourself wouldn't do much to change that, even with instant clemency.

Rather than changing the activation (which i think is nice, it's a party skill after all), I think it would be better to just have the effect hit the PLD as well. Would let the PLD run more Sword Oath, running their DPS a little higher. Especially since the normal activation is Divine Veil -> Succor for maximum party shield in preparation for big hits.
It'd also be useful to mitigate tankbusters, effectively being an near-instant activation stoneskin, once again letting the PLD stay in Sword Oath more.
Especially with switching oaths taking up a GCD, that'd help a bit with PLD DPS without making the skill more convoluted.

The problem with "party skills" is that 99% of the game doesn't work like that. You can pretty much do your job and never interact with your teammates and still win a fight, outside of co-ordinating mechanics. The only exceptions to this are divine veil and living dead.

Divine veil to a lesser extent because the PLD can proc it themself, but since the only way to do so is clemency or cross class cure which are both a massive waste of resources and/or overkill for procing a shield, you tend to leave it to your healers.

Now the problem is that because there are only 2 moves that work this way, healers who have never tanked don't know about them. Which hinders their usefulness since you can't rely on your teammate to know how it works. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thrown up divine veil just to have the healer suddenly stop healing. Then you say "cure me" they either ignore you or get confused and "???" By the time you're done filling them in on how it works the moment for it to be useful has passed.
