Shield Oath does nothing to increase a Pld's Hp pool or increase the amount of Hp restored by a Healer. The potency of the healing they receive is not changed by Oaths.
it it would take 25,000 damage to kill a 20khp tank with shield oath increasing their effective health pool by 25%
while only requiring 20k in heals to return to full. 20k healing on a defiance warrior with the bonus from defiance would be 24k hp, 96% as effective as healing a pld.

Effective health
Effective healing
