If we're going to change War Drum into a taunt ability, I'd change it to single target, really shorten the cooldown and have Cover reset its cooldown if a Covered party member is struck by the mob.

Then I'd bring back Circle Slash on a 30-45 second cooldown with decent/good damage potential.

This way PLD gains two things: 1) a taunt ability which would then allow the developers to use taunting as an encounter mechanic (which can't currently be done because PLD doesn't have one) and 2) a good way to generate AoE enmity in a way that makes sense and works well with Flash because of the comparable cooldowns.

It'd be kind of nice if, in addition to VIT/DEX affecting Shield Block Damage/Shield Block Rate, STR/MND would somehow be a secondary modifier for those shield traits respectively
this definitely makes sense, and I agree.
