The other jobs really have a gauge that feels nice to use, GNB with all their spamming, DRK spinning to mediocre damage, war CLEEAAAVE, but PLD feels weak. A small amount of damage mitigated and that's kinda it.
PLD gauge is pretty strong. It can mitigate a lot of damage.

Though, a lot of the feeling of mediocrity comes from the fact that unlike other gauges, PLD's build theirs passively. Via auto attacks. So it never feels like you're being rewarded for pushing your buttons, it's just a glorified cooldown.

Use the ability and DV proc's. Clean and simple. Not really necessary, but would be nice to have something else to do with the gauge that feels like it has actual purpose.

Thoughts?
Unfortunately, the way it works precludes oGCD's from proccing it, which is also super annoying for healers too.

Though, why they don't just scrap the whole "Needing to receive a heal" to get the shield I don't know... It's not like it's effect is excessively strong to necessitate such a restriction.
