Does anyone else think it'll be MUCH better and easier for newbie Paladin's to have Shield Oath at 30 rather than Sword Oath?
Personally. I have a much easier time as a WAR keeping aggro early levels because I have OP and Flash. [Granted I am 24 MRD/WAR and 23 GLD/PLD]
but switched over to the former because I had a much easier time keeping up with aggro and struggled some as a GLD.

TLDR; Give Shield Oath @ 30.

Edit: This was moved quick lol.
