The Problem with Paladin

[Phobos]

Also with Gridanian Blucker on stronghold pulls you will be blocking like once per second or more. Each block it reduce around 40% of the dmg so its great to have it. Also on THM or BLM you can use it while spaming Fire to survive a little more.

I'll have to pick up a comparable shield as this seems like a good concept. I like the idea of needing multiple shields as the situation calls for it. In this case you use a smaller buckler shield for XP to get a higher block rate on multiple mob tanking. If Kite Shields and Scutums were better for single-target situations, but did not work as well on multiple mob situations, this would make tanking a bit more interesting and dynamic, IMO.
