Shield Bash

[Gramlite]

ah i see, the only use i see is for damage mitigration. It is just too darn slow for anything

i would rather they swapped it for shield swipe and made it have an oath gauge cost.

Adding an offensive option to the Oath Gauge is probably a bad idea at this point, as it take away from the whole defensive arsenal added to it. Most will actively avoid using defensive/ support for offensive. Further, I can't see why you would want the devs to return Shield Swipe when it already needed a proc via blocking to activate, and also adding Oath Gauge cost, it feels pointless and you're only adding an offensive option just because why not.

obviously i meant it wouldn't require a block to use, but it has a lore context to GLDs moveset and was a nice ability that didn't deserve the cut imo, esp when it could just replace shield bash, the oath gauge cost was to justify giving yet another offense ability, being that you have to give up 50 oath gauge to use it.

honestly, I much rather no offensive skills being added to the oath gauge personally. If shield swipe was to be returned which I highly doubt it ever will be, it should be as it was, proc'd off of blocking. Also 50 gauge for a shield swipe sounds lackluster and just plain anticlimactic.
