Dark Knight and stance dancing

[Archaell]

Don't forget that paladin has to pay for the stance change every single time.

Turn Sword Oath on - lost GCD.
Turn Shield Oath on - lost GCD.

While Grit goes off free of charge.

The SwO/ShO interaction is way better. You would lose the whole combo benefit when you switched Oath, imagine if you had a GB queued and you were forced to switch to ShO. RIP DPS (if you just put switch off the said Oath, you didn't/don't get penalized tho). On-ing Grit still loses a GCD, but turning it off doesn't.

True, but PLD has an emnity modifier attached to its one of it dps combos (Savage Blade as apart of the Goring Blade combo). DRK does not. Meaning you should have to step in and out of ShO less. Also, the MP cost of ShO and SwO are far less impacting on PLD than they are with DRK's Grit. Combined I think it justifies the GCD cost of ShO and SwO.
