Sanctus needs a boost.

A very late-game shield. that is outclassed by the early "Grass Crest Shield".
Not only is the verily minor health regen is outperformed by the GCS' stamina regen, but it also has slightly weaker magic resistance.
One way the Sanctus shield can be altered; is if the shield's health regen can scale with the user's faith level.

Higher faith = More HP regained.

The Ring of the Evil Eye currently outperforms this shield.

Replenishment with miracle sinergy outperforms both of them.

I don't know if there can be a middle ground for health regen. Demon's was too high, but it worked cause there was tons of grass. Dark 1 relies mainly on estus and miracles for heals. Both have a cost of limited use. Ring of evil eye, butcher's and server require a risk to get that healing. To buff sanctus to would get rid of that risk. The only way it can work is if they dump it in the beginning and raised its healing rate a bit like how Dark 2 has it for their regen ring. Works well in the beginning but not as good later.

I agree, regen scaling with faith would be perfectly fine to balance out faith's comparatively low power compared to sorcery. The shield also sucks so it wouldn't be broken either, you would be sacrificing defense. As of now the Sanctus is totally useless as the regen is not nearly enough to justify the loss in stability and damage reduction.
