    I'd just be happy with Shield Bash taken off the GCD.
    It is the only PLD stun and have it on GCD makes it almost useless, because PLD have always GCD in action and stuns are tactical skill to be used at exact timing. And you cannot ask a PLD to stand still in the event a mob may use the skill to stun.

    And I do not care it interrupts my awesome rotation, Stun some skill casting is part of mechanics and have priority. Sastasha hard, first boss, a clear example of that.

    PLD stun is on the GCD because WAR's is off it. PLD's advantage is that it sits on a 2.5s (skillspeed dependent) recast timer - this is especially useful in fights like T5 and Leviathan. WAR also has to deal with animation delay on their stun, which isn't much fun.

    Fact PLD's the only job that can consistently and consecutively stun on a whim is a tactical advantage other jobs don't have, and as much as people harp on it being on the GCD it's proven to be more useful in the long run in endgame instances (at least for the time that content is relevant).
