PLD bros, little idea I have for a change to Passage of Arms.

[TheForce]

So, this thought pretty much came to me randomly and I liked it, so I figured I'd share it with the forums and see what you guys think. What if, when we activated Passage of Arms, we gain 5 oath gauge everytime an enemy strikes the shield?

EDIT: Because as far as personal mitigation goes, POA should be your absolute line of defense to avoid death. But I always hated how I am truly just a sitting duck as this happened, doing nothing but blocking. I feel like allowing to at least gain oath from this would be pretty snazzy.

I don't see anything wrong with your suggestion, but I also don't really see it as much of a bonus either. I could take it or leave it.

Fair, it's a really small buff haha. But I just feel like it'd help connect our kit a little more.

I only use passage of arms during big phase transition attacks, so maybe this would give me and other players who don't use it much more incentive to use it in other types of content.

But honestly, I don't have a problem with keeping my oath gauge up so even if this did get added I don't think I'd use passage of arms that much more. I could take it or leave it as the other chocobro Raldo said.

I have to agree with the others. The only time I use PoA is in Savage when I flash the group for 5 seconds of blocking and I dont lose up-time, so I wouldnt be able to benefit from the perk. However, I'm not against it in any way. I like the idea.

I think currently you can toggle PoA on and interrupt it and the effect persists for a few more seconds, making it kind of like a janky Sheltron?

The auto-block doesn't apply if you weave it, only the 15% mitigation for whomever stood behind you at the time(and that lasts 5 seconds).

I think PoA and Sheltron both should recouperate some Oath per hit. More hits you're taking, the more you can sheltron.. Would be nice for lower lvl when sheltron is shorter duration.. Then in single target like raid/trail the CD mostly normalizes to on-demand like TBN and the other complementeries.

Since defense CDs have been made homologus, I think the 3rd defense CD (which PLD doesn't have because sheltron carries that burder as well) should be given more roundedness into the kit. So this added effect would check that box for PLD. Then add some more effect to ToB, replace Dark Mind with something fun, Camoflauge has some added effect, etc
