If anything, Grit should have made you dislike Shield oath/Sword oath more.
having a 20% mitigation on the gcd with just the penalty of losing a gcd (they actually fixed it because changing stances drops whatever combo you're currently in). meanwhile as i was a drk i was always hesitant to turn on grit for having the same % of mitigation but with much more mana cost that can cost me a +1 da or the darkness buff entirely

but enough about me de-railing. i just wanted to point out that the paladin of 3.0 wasnt as bad as the dark knight of 4.0.
