    Paladin gauge is fine. Using it to block AOEs or random autos gives you 2/3 of a Holy Spirit. If you combine that with other random MP sources you can easily replace 3 non-Fight or Flight GCDs with Holy Spirits in some fights and increase your DPS while still making it in time for the Requiescat window. You can also use it to fill up MP on bosses that force you out of Riot Blade range. It also lets you slip in Rage of Halone when you need enmity. Alternatively, you can use it defensively for blocking tank busters or Intervention. Probably the only thing I'd change would be to add a little bit more information to it - crackling lightning around it while you're above 80% MP or something.

    PLD gauge is not fine, it is used for TWO skills, both of which are situational leading to me forgetting the gauge even exists. The skills work fine without the gauge (sheltron proved that), and its entire existance feels forced, unnatural and entirely down to the fact that PLD needs some sort of gauge to be in line with the other jobs.

    Its not that the gauge is a detriment, it is that it is pointless, arbitrary and a bit... shit (I do like the pretty colors telling me what oath I'm in though, though I'd still like a yellow/blue aura around the PLD like DRK and WAR have).
