Rework the PLD damage combo . Fast Blade Riot Blade Royal AuthorityInstead of Fast Blade Savage Blade Royal AuthorityRemove the combo requirement from Goring Blade so it acts like Fracture and Scourge . Goring BladeInstead of Fast Blade Riot Blade Goring BladeMerge Spirits Within and Shield Bash so it acts like Brutal Swing and Low Blow , but is affected by Sword Oath and Shield Oath like Jugulate is affected by Kiss of the Wasp and Kiss of the Viper . Shield Bash Sword Oath 300 Potency SilenceShield Bash Shield Oath 110 Potency StunExtend Sheltron duration to 3 attacks , not just 1 . Enhance Bulwark to 40 %, 50 %, or 60 % block chance up from 30 %. Make Awareness a trait that reduces the enemies critical strike chance passively . Enhance Cover so that damage isn ' t redirected , and is just reduced , remove it ' s range limitation . Enhance Clemency so that it becomes instant cast under certain situations to encourage the PLD to assist with healing , if the above change to the DPS combo is implemented perhaps making it proc from Royal Authority , 10 % 20 % 30 % chance . This would probably be really overpowered in PvP but who the hell does anything but wintrade for glamour in PvP anyway . Divine Veil no longer requires receiving a heal to activate and affects the casting PLD as well . Remove Sword Oath completely , make Shield Oath operate similar to Grit in that it ' s on or off and reduce damage dealt penalty to 5 % or 10 %. Remove Shield Swipe , make it a trait with a chance to proc resetting the cooldown of Shield Bash , enhancing it ' s damage and increasing enmity , from what I can tell pacification is completely useless as most enemies don ' t attack primarily with Weaponskills but with autoattacks .
