Either 3/10 for troll quality, or 10/10 for bafflement quality.

Assuming you're being genuine... lolwut? This thread is clearly authored and heavily contributed to by people who know a great deal about paladin and what limited room there is for finesse play with the class. That said....

You do realize that shield oath comes with a 20% reduction to the damage you receive.. so on.. .like nearly every fight it would be an awful idea to be in sword oath. Titan, Coil, even ifrit and garu depending on your gear (a full af pld shouldn't use sword while tanking garu for example). If I turned on sword oath while tanking twin I'd be dead within moments.
