Thoughts on PLD changes

[VargasVermillion]

Actually some changes I think would be cool would be to remove shield bash (since it's basically useless now save for some extremely rare or unlikely situations which technically go against SE design for job balance this expac anyway) and replace it with shield swipe with a 50 oath gauge cost and remove cover from the oath gauge.

For Dungeon Mobs I tend to open with Arms Length and then near the end of it's slow start shield bashing them in turn.

I will say it feels redundant to have 2 stuns as a PLD though.

please don't shield bash them just use the awesome AoE we have now, it will help your healer more and if you got a WHM in party, 9 time out of 10 they are already immune to stun if your WHM is anyway decent and are using holy to help dps down trash packs.

I usually do this if I see the WHM isn't just casting Holy enmass for given the last few days I've been trying to power grind my PLD, this has been quite a few dungeons where the WHM can't even cast holy yet.

Also not a huge fan of 'spin to win'. But you are right, having PLD with a stun feels weird when a WHM comes along.
