Tank Gauges -specifically PLD-

[Xenosan]

Any DPS component to Oath gauge undermines Sheltron and Intervention. If inclined to a passive buff to the gauge - something like Defiance/Deliverance, itt could be something like a buff to Sheltron - where instead of Sheltron consuming Oath instantly for one-hit use:

Instead each time PLD receives a hit while Sheltron is up, Oath gauge is reduced by an amount somehow determined by the amount of damage received: the harder the hit, the more Oath the attack sucks up. Once a total of 50 Oath is consumed, Sheltron falls off. The idea being if the attacks are weak enough, Sheltron will block more than one attack before falling off. If Sheltron fades via it's 10 second duration, the remaining amount of the 50 Oath depletes too (no leftovers).

Would solve the woe of Sheltron catching an AA before the intended attack to block, and soften that pretty hard limitation of one-hit that DRK/WAR don't worry so much about with TBN/IB.

But PLD don't want it tied to DPS to too far any extent, it'll just hurt PLD in the long run. Less is more with Oath gauge with PLD current state, at least regarding dps.
