Please consider giving PLD a way to generate Oath gauge outside of auto attacks.

[Marc-Vigar]

I don't know about higher level weapons but asuming it's true they have longer recast, 20-22 seconds is still the lowest recast from all tank busters (WAR/GNB are 25 sec, DRK 15 sec 3000 mana), so it's pretty competitive.

Why would you be using Sheltron immediatelly anyways? It isn't a hidrance, you can start a fight with a full gauge and use Sheltron twice, unlike other tanks that will have to wait for the 25 sec cooldown.

Im taking into consideration what other tanks have because you are doing the same, your argument to demand a gauge filler is that other tanks have it. You said "other tanks already have ways to heal themselves with things like Soul eater, Brutal Shell, Equilibrium, Path." That is absolutely false.

- Soul Eater = 300 potency, requires vulnerable target, and it's a combo finisher, so 5 seconds total to cast. ---> VS Clemency = 1200 potency, no target required, 1.5 sec cast, no cooldown.

- Brutal Shell = 300 total potency (150 heal+150 shield), requires vulnerable target, 2nd hit combo so 2.3 sec to cast. ---> VS Clemency 1200 potency, no target required, 1.5 sec cast, no cooldown.

- Equillibrium = 1200 potency, no target required, instant, 60 second cooldown. ---> VS Clemency 1200 potency, no target required, 1.5 sec cast, no cooldown.

Clemency is by far the best self sustain spell from all tanks, it's what allows you to finish bosses even if the whole party is dead, no other tank has such privilege. It comes at the cost of damage, yes, but tanks are not DPS, and if you are sustaining urself that means healers can DPS meanwhile, so it's not a big loss.

No one considers Superbolide better than Hollowed Ground because that's straight up stupid. Superbolide is very limited, you can't use it a high HP and if you get stunned when you're low, you will die. And let's not talk about healers raging at you for using it at the wrong time. With HG nothing can go wrong.

The point is, if you wanna demand something other tanks have and you don't, you must accept that other tanks also want what you have and they don't.
