They honestly should have just left Sheltron alone and kept the oath gauge and its related usage to 60+ gameplay where its more relevant. It feels weird that a mechanic designed around 60+ skills for heavy building impacts something pre-60 so heavily. The 50 oath cost is ridiculous, and a 5 second cd is pointless when mechanically it can take longer then 30 seconds to rebuild that much oath outside of popping Bulwark for the block chance boost every 2-3 minutes. It makes Oath feel like something you need to hoard specifically for boss fights and nothing else.

Pre-SB Sheltron was an awesome mitigation skill when you knew something big was coming, you needed MP or shield swipe was off cd. If its so easy to build oath at 64+...why is an early 50 skill being strangled so viciously for no reason other then they needed to crowbar in a mechanic to make oath a thing at earlier levels?
