Shield Oath makes Sheltron useless.

[Shurrikhan]

The resource does not generate slowly while under shield oath. I can't believe this is such a hard concept to grasp.

You will be casting 5 holy spirit per minute at a MINIMUM as part of your normal rotation on paladin. 5 holy spirit generates 100 energy. 100 energy gives you two uses of sheltron. 2 uses of sheltron per minute means one use of sheltron per 30 seconds, which is exactly the same rate as the old sheltron was available - only now it can be banked and used back to back if required, where before it couldn't.

Reading what you've quoted and its original context, the point seemed very, very clearly to be on the dependence of Shield Oath on Holy Spirit and the BASE (pre-HS) generation of gauge under Shield Oath. But that my have been a hard concept to grasp, too?

While I'll agree with your points since, that doesn't stop Shield Oath's gauge accretion from feeling undertuned and overly dependent to me, and apparently to some others as well. It's as simple as that.
