Especially prevelant when their sitting there and not even getting the dps they should be from just auto attacking, like their somehow not even keeping in range or facing the target when doing litterally nothing.I spend a fair bit of time running dungeons as a healer. But only because my DPS is much higher than a PLD with sword oath on. I don't remember have any particular trouble keeping that tank alive either. The people I meet in DF regularly have very strong opinions on whether I should be in Shield Oath or Sword Oath.
I can totally understand having sword oath going into a dungeon. Just repeat. you never touch shield oathDungeons, if undergeared, stay in shield.
Aside from exp, trash should be a good way for the tank and healer to gauge each other and know what to expect!I swap sword oath and shield oath depending on the phase of the fight, places like Ak I usually run sword oath on demon wall until the wasps spawn because you just need that extra boost (and it is quite a bit!). Der 40.
I main a PLD. I'm at my happiest when I'm busy, either keeping everyone alive with heals, or throwing down damage to speed up the fight.I ran into two of these when I leveled my MNK.
(Scared of stealing aggro, although I assume I wouldn't be able to if other tank is in Oath or equivalent.Standard rotation is goring combo, with FoF buff right before goring, 2xRA combo, goring combo, requiescat into 5xHS, goring combo, 2RA combo, and repeat.
Not using it at all is silly, spamming it is nice for enmity but will waste a good amount of damage mitigation, resulting in the need for more heals.Shield Oath lowers your damage, increases your Emnity generation AND reduces damage taken, in some fights we use a Sword and a Shield oath paladins, and the sword oath can't outtank the shield oath paladin.

If you pull shielded with Adlo, they're going to get their DoTs applied, especially if you use cooldowns and they use Rouse/Eye/Virus to manage incoming damage well and they have a spam Embrace macro.
A PLD in Sword Oath sustains ~410-430 DPS if it's a dummy-style fight (15% of which is Sword Oath so you'd lose 32% of that by switching to Shield Oath). Sword oath makes you do more damage, so depending on your weapon and how you play, you might very well generate more enmity with sword oath!I couldn't cast cure 1 without getting aggro on all but the main targetLooks like he wasn't using flash. After another tankbuster, he Provokes, you Shirk.

I go sword oath for more damage, my WHM uses cleric stance and we nuke our way through AK like a hot knife through butter.We are all very well geared and have been doing AK since launch week so we have had plenty of exp.Outside of having a great synergy with your team or if you lack gear then defo stay in shield oath.The only time it's appropriate to use Sword Oath, is if you aren't level 40, or if you're in PVE.I personally had a PLD tank I was running Amdapor Keep with, and he refused to Shield Oath until the last boss.

Then more shirks throughout the fight while they spam DPS combos4mans: 1-2 aggro combos (+ CoS and Shield bash if you want) before swapping generally holds out if you're equally geared. Why sit in sword oath when the healer could just holy down every trash pull and increase the speed of the run a million times more than a tiny gain from sword oath would provide.I should also add that i'm the type of healer to holy until i'm oom and then heal with the bit of mana I have left if the mobs aren't dead but 9 times out of 10 they're dead before i even run out of mana.Sometimes healers just aren't comfortable dpsing or healing the extra damage from sword oath. This is in line with my thinking too.
They lose some DPS by pulling, we lose our rotation.You CAN pull on paladin without messing the rotation up TOO much if you don't have a bard (no Diversion), but it locks you into FoF-Req opener.other tank pulls instead of pld always. Shield oath when you eat unplanned vun stacks / tank busters or if a healer is dead/oom.On a related note, how do I use Paladin combos when OT?Levelled up PLD recently, doing the CT alliance raids, but wasn't sure if I could use my Rage of Halone combo when OT.
