...I actually find myself with fewer opportunities to use Shield Swipe after the patch as well. ...often it'll just sit there off cooldown for a few seconds before I finally block another attack.
Yeah, I've noted this as well, now that there is a 15s timer on use, the irregularity of proc'ing it means you can never achieve 4 swipes per minute on a consistent basis. So now it has reduced potency and potentially reduced occurrence since before the change we could still use Sheltron and/or Bulwark to force it. All in all, I can easily see how this change actually ends up using more TP than before and producing less DPS. Which really goes against the stated aim of the change I think.
