However, beyond Ifrit it has absolutely 0 use what so ever. Even in Ifrit if you have a capable off-tank stunning Eruption you don't even need it. Sure, you can blot out Plumes as well if you block and execute the ability with perfect timing in sync with Ifrit readying Plumes, but outside of that - useless. Against a random mob it's not necessary because they die quickly and it's really more of a gimmick that gives you a minor reprieve but is far less important than all of the other skills you can/should be using.

I'd like to put forward a suggestion. Get rid of Pacification entirely and provide Shield Swipe an ability similar to Rain of Death. I don't feel I have to explain why that would be so apropos for a Paladin.
