Unique? sure, good No? Unique doesn't always mean good, It would be very *unique* if a tank didn't have it's 30% CD it was instead a 25% CD didn't work until a healer gave them a GCD heal but it wouldn't be fun or Interesting. Dark Mind is sure Unique? certainly love how unique it feels in aoe or physical because it doesn't work, oath filling on auto attacks sure is "unique".

It's inconsistent in any content that isn't a static raid group, you really don't know if your healer is going to use a GCD heal considering they try to avoid that, so a lot of the time you have its effect not even used at the right time, your dependent on another player to use your tanking CD, sure Holy spirit and your magic blades combo can use it but you better hope your magic window also lines up with your uses of divine veil, I don't really find that the "good" type of unique.

Justification is blah blah, it's unique! Not everything that is unique is automatically a good thing, I'd actually like meaningful differences in PLD's defensive kit, I think oath gauge needs to be more interactive with the Job. I want actual meaningful differences not clunky outdated CD's that get defended for the sake of being unique.
