I'm no fan of searching forums, so if this has cropped up somewhere already, then so be it.

I'm here to understand and hopefully improve the ability called Shield Swipe in my own opinions and experiences as a long time Paladin.
While this ability has it's uses in very specific circumstances, it's easily and unforgivingly overshadowed by Shield Bash and other types of Stun. Stun has the same principles as Pacification where it only lasts 6 - 3 - 1 seconds within a 60 second window and is consistently resisted by anything and everything after Ifrit.

It comes with a nasty prerequisite of having to block something first and has the audacity to go "lose proc" after about 8-10 seconds and only prevents the enemy from using "weapon skills" sort of like the old Amnesia from 11 and v1.
