I mean, really, SE? You give us a wonderful spell (well...as wonderful as it could be, anyway) but then limit its use by letting it be interrupted. And the 3 second cast time? You'd think for over two thousand MP, it would cast faster than that, or at least not get interrupted...

And I never understood why Sword/Shield Oath resets combo progression. I feel as though that would help boost PLD's overall DPS/raid performance in end-game, if we were able to switch between stances. Perhaps not so freely.

For example:
Switching to Shield Oath would reset combos, but switching to Sword Oath would not.

Just an idea. It'd be nice to tack on Goring Blade without the damage reduction by Shield Oath, without having to do the entire combo for it in Sword Oath. Maybe I'm just crying and whining, asking for too much... But there are some PLD skills that I, and I'm sure many others, feel very strongly about. Divine Veil is nice, for very few instances, and even in those instances, it's not really necessary. I've even used it (with my macro to announce to the party it's been used) but the healer didn't cure me, for an entire 30 seconds. Bad PUG healers...
