Rage of Halone / Shield Swipe Changes:

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Ya'll are making some really complex and not so great solutions when you could just give flash damage.

Putting an AoE at the end of a 3 hit combo as a tank would be incredibly annoying to use effectively.

It depends on the range. If it had slightly higher range then the other abilities it wouldn't be that hard to use.

facepalm..

Imo pld just needs 2 small tweaks that are both incredibly simple to implement.

1. Enhanced Flash trait.. a simple Increase in enmity would be great.

2. Oath swaps. Shield Oath at 30 Sword at 40. Be more beneficial in lower level content. Especially between 30&40 where dps are getting the final combo hits.

I would perhaps give Flash a small aoe damage instead, 10 or 20, removing blind in the process since 1: blind has a short time, and 2: it has diminishing return.
This plus sheltron = blocks next attack. Now it only blocks physical, making it yet another def cooldown that is rather useless against magic enemies.

Your second point I am all for, WAR and I think DRK get their tank stances at lvl30 so why not PLD?

If you just use the cleave portion from OP's suggestion, it's not bad.
-Shield Swipe pacifies the main target; and cleaves on nearby targets.
No change for Rage of Halone.

Or they could just add a trait to flash to make it better... or greatly increase the damage of Circle of Scorn.

I also like the brownie idea.

OP

I swear by the Twelve you are a sucker for punishment.

So man I was reading this thread and was pretty ready to just write it off.

Then I found this AMAZING brownie recipe and it saved the experience!
