PLD changes

[Enkidoh]

Re: Shield Bash - it's main benefit (perhaps it's only real purpose), is it serves as a second Stun for when Low Blow is still cooling down, but it's slower execution means Low Blow is still the prefered Stun for non-boss/high end content. It's just one of those niche abilities not really meant for end game content. Unfortunately, it's also long been rather underwhelming - back in the old days when TP was still a thing it consumed a huge amount of TP effectively mucking up any rotation, and even now is slow and rather clunky to execute.

But it's probably safe as far as any risk of being removed in the future is concerned, as it's now appeared in two seperate opening/promotional FMVs for the game (the roe PLD uses it against a Garlean soldier in the 1.0/ARR 'End of an Era/New Beginning' trailer, and the EW opening movie Derplander as PLD uses it against a FFXI-style 'Dark Dragon' Blasphemy, so it's position in GLA/PLD's toolkit is probably secure as SE probably consider it an 'iconic' PLD ability like Cover, despite being rather useless gameplay wise. I just wish they maybe buffed it up a bit (maybe redo it's animation so it didn't take quite so long to use).
