Sheltron.

How much I used to love Sheltron.



I would use it for Tank Busters like Ilberd's Griffon Claw. I would use it to help replenish MP after casting Clemency. It had a 30 second (?) cooldown, and that was fine.

Now, it has a 5 second cooldown but costs 50 oath.

I get 5...... FIVE.....Oath from a successful block.

Earlier I tanked a Grand Gubal Library (the MSQ one), and I was I-level sync'd on all of my equipment. Popped Shield Oath and proceeded to tank the dungeon all the way to the first boss. I used Sheltron once (it took me 3 trash pulls to get enough Oath to do so).

I was standing at the 2nd boss with 45 Oath and scratching my head going "I could have used Sheltron like 10 times now back during Heavensward".

Now, I like Sword Oath. That feels good. But man, Shield Oath.....

Shield Oath needs serious work. 5 Oath per block is not cutting it. It basically turns Sheltron into this thing you can only use 1 time per boss battle, or once every several trash pulls.

Maybe 10? 15? Oath per block would be more reasonable. Even with Sword Oath, there is no way that I would ever be able to cast Sheltron again 5 seconds after casting it once unless I built my Oath meter clear up to 100, and to do that, it would take me most of an entire dungeon while using Shield Oath.

You can't even stance-dance to build Oath, because you dump half of your Oath when you swap, so you'd have to get 100 oath with Sword Oath (and have serious enmity problems and take far more damage while doing so) and then swap just to get a Sheltron...

It just needs work.
