    That's... actually not a half bad idea really, it's still technically a sword you could restrict use of a shield with a Great Sword equipped. Great Sword damage could actually be ON PAR with Lances or G.Axes to turn GLA/PLD into a decent DD, and their Weaponskill Limitations and loss of shield skills would keep them from being OP, while giving GLA/PLD some much needed role diversity.

    having no shield would make you lose a ton of skill, great sword will be for new job or class

    I was thinking it would be useful for times we weren't tanking, like when we get stuck with extra PLD/GLA or two who don't have other jobs leveled at LS events or to help PLD be a more viable choice burning through trash mobs or doing speedruns when tanking isn't an issue. It would still be FAR from ideal but it would give us a few more options outside of our core role. At least that's just my personal opinion.

    outmaneuver, shield bash, pld combo, aegis boon,war drum that's 6 skills right of the top of my head you couldn't use, then if your not tanking you wouldn't need flash, cover, hallowed ground

    so that's 9 skills lost to a glad/pld dd with no shield. doesn't seem worth it.
