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

[Marc-Vigar]

Because it is tied to auto attacks. If you cannot actually hit something, you do not gain gauge with then halts your Sheltron "recast". This is what the original post mentioned.



So you're going to ignore the benefits of the other tank healing abilities because in your opinion the damage they deal is irrelevant and the only thing that matters is just tanking. That seems very silly to just ignore free healing that you receive by simply doing damage. In that case, PLD is actually one of the best healers in the game because when they Requiestcat, they can heal 5 times in a row for 1800 potency each heal. Who needs Confiteor anyways?

Losing DPS in order to heal is a very serious trade off. Justify it however you like but there is a real cost to Clemency. Just look at the front page for the thread where the healer is complaining at PLD's for using Clemency. If it is not needed it is a DPS loss and no one benefits from a DPS loss. if it is needed then absolutely you should take the DPS loss because it might end up being a DPS gain if someone lives. Weather or not the receiver actually needed that heal is anyone's debate.



You can use Superbolide twice in Eden Prime. You can Hallowed ground only a single time in Eden Prime. Does that make Hallowed bad or Superbolide good? Not really because you do two Superbolides and one Hallowed and leave it at that. Point is, one is not better than the other. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and that's what keeps them balanced. I did not claim Superbolide to be better, rather it is competitive with Hallowed.



What I asked for is for PLD to be able to recharge their Sheltron just like how the other tanks can recharge their short CD's during downtime. Im not asking for a completely brand new cooldown. Im asking to have Sheltron when the other tanks have their short CD after downtime.

Seeing as you only care about DPS and don't understand what tanks are here for, I think you should consider playing another role. And by the way, PLD is top 2 DPS for all 4 tanks, only SLIGHTLY behind GNB which has much less utility and survivability.

Superbolide is absolute garbage compared to Hollowed Ground, doesn't matter if you can use it once or twice, it puts an insane amount of stress on your healers and it requires perfect timing, whilst Hollow Ground has no downside. I would gladly trade 60 seconds of a longer cooldown for a much better immunity.

And there you go again not being honest, you never said you wanted Sheltron to be like Raw Intuition (and that wouldn't be viable because then oath gauge would be pointless). You complained about not being able to fill your gauge during downtime using other tanks as example. "Please consider giving PLD a way to generate Oath gauge outside of auto attacks."
