Fix PLD's Rotation

Well, imagine what happened when DRKs kept barking up the tree when it came to Living Dead. It got changed eventually, but they have recognized that they need to look at actions for Tanks as a whole for 6.3 at the least. If anything, just hope that they actually fix PLD and their jankiness when it comes to Holy Spirit.

I would certainly welcome PLD being properly fixed, but I feel like I'd like the 2 min burst window gameplay loop as a whole to take a hike even more. Hopefully 7.0 redoes it all.

They should just add a 6th stack to Requiescat. Then we can cut out a Goring Blade combo and have an even 60 second rotation without skill speed.

While this is a nice sentiment, I somewhat agree that we should avoid job design into 2 minutes, right now it's just not a realistic argument.
The only way Paladin is going to work in burst meta is to become a burst job, not like in 7.0 if they stepped away from burst meta they could revert changes and make Paladin into a more sustained job.

At this point I'd think something like fight or flight would be majorly buffed instead of something like atonement as you use atonements and stuff outside of your burst, while current FOF is more your second weaker burst right now, they could switch it with req, reduce reqs effectiveness.

While I don't like the idea that plds magic phase, the new flashy thing! is weaker It's a much better solution then reworking PLD's entire kit, like removing FOF wouldn't sit well with me.
I think what's going to happen is either FOF will be removed or changes like removing goring blade ect, a lot they could "look at" we just gotta hope it isn't too drastic but also helps address PLDS issues, we can't have PLD be a sustained job in a burst meta, we need to look for ways to get rid of "burst meta"
