Paladin misunderstanding.

Aurora is more comparible to the passive blocking in terms of how much damage its soaking a lot of the time as it heals about 35k damage every min meaning with camoflage gnb has more at its disposal in terms of mitigating while being uniterrupted dps wise

One thing of note in the shelltron vs heart of stone debate is that by popping shelltron a paladin is unable to parry ontop of the mitigation that the cooldown has provided and their benefit of passive blocking is essentially negated for its duration, this also means heart of stone and camo can pair nicely together or just luck.

Divine Veils requirement of a gcd heal to proc can make it problematic when comparing it to the ease of use of heart of light due to how much healing is done via ogcds

Hallowed Ground doesn't block the damage from cover

I would question how on earth you would get into a situation where you would need to shield bash multiple enemies anyway and don't think ive seen anything like that in years, and in terms of being overpowered in terms of survivability that would probably go to WAR in "lesser content" provided they have at least one party member with them due to how much self healing they can put out with nascent flash, whilst still operating at peak performance

Another thing to add is that in dungeons and generally all content with big groups of trashmobs block and parry lose a lot of value since critical hits ignore both and we do not have awareness anymore to negate this. So on big pulls a pld can take a lot more damage than the other tanks if your rng is bad.
You could end up with your Shelltron mitigating less damage than HoS and even Camouflage has atleast a 10% damage reduction on top of it's 50% parry.
