PLD changes; thoughts?

Nah apparently not, apparently we just use a priority system for the 3 GCDs in FOF that aren't Goring or the Conf combo, prioritising DM Holy Spirit, RA (because it procs another HS), Atonement

And the old optimal rotation had us dropping Atonements, so even if what I've been told is off, it just means 'nothing changed', not 'the old rotation was more intuitive'

I've tested it. While the difference is nominal, dropping two Atonements in a 60 second loop to facilitate a DHS -> RA -> DHS under FoF is the highest potency. The old rotation had PLDs dropping one Atonement. If that wasn't great, then surely now dropping two isn't the same or better.

The difference being nominal, with crit DH variance, will more than equalise the difference between the 2 rotations.

Also, you only need to drop 3 Atonement over the initial 6 minutes in full uptime, 2 after burst so you have 2 DM HS and RA in you 2 muinute, then 1 more anywhere after the 2 minute so your 6minute also has 2 DM HS and an RA. After that most fights in full uptime won't have a third pot usage.

Otherwise use every Atonement and DM HS, and probably come out with in around the same result again give or take crit DH variance.
