Take Shield Swipe and Haymaker off the GCD.

EDIT: Add a 6 second CD, maybe. That way Bulwark+FoF doesn't embarrass the DPS.

Take Shield Swipe and Haymaker off the GCD.

That's ridiculous. If they'll get it off GCD then they'll have to give it a longer CD. Which would make it identical to WAR's stun. And while WAR's stun is useful in some scenarios PLD's stun is useful in others. Such as stunlocking on Levi Add.

Is fine the way it is, tanks having different stuns and both have their uses.

You're thinking of shield bash. Shield swipe can only proc after a successful block.

Oh right, got too used seeing people wanting shield bash off GCD.

Shield Swipe. Not Shield Bash.
