6.3 Paladin

I've tested the Paladin out for a while now and this is what I have found.

First Goring Blade doesn't seem to fit in a Fight or Flight window ... not that I have found without missing something else, makes the rotation seem incomplete. Personally I would make Goring Blade an ability not a weaponskill.

Second I don't know about everyone else but MP seems to be a real issue, forget Clemency I sometimes run out of MP if I don't fit Atonement before the Requiescat rotation. Adding an MP cost to the Conifiteor combo on top of having us cast Holy Spirit after Royal Authority is way too much. Either make Holy Spirit free with Divine Might or remove the MP cost from the Confiteor combo again.

Third why does Cover still cost Gauge.

Everything else seems fine for now but still need to test a bit more.

*EDIT* Never mind I'm an idiot for not noticing the Confiteor changes

How does Goring Blade not fit into Fight or Flight? It's got the same cooldown, use it right after using FoF. It doesn't even interrupt your combos.

You don't use Holy Spirit before Confiteor anymore, now you just use Confiteor and your Blade combo right after using Resquiescat (prior to 90 you'll still be using some Holy Spirits). The only time you should be using Holy Spirit is after Royal Authority or if you're out of range. Riot Blade alone covers Holy Spirit's cost and your Expiacion and Attonements cover the 4000 MP you spend every minute on your Confiteor and Blade combo.

I dunno why Cover costs gauge. Probably to make sure we never use it.

What do you mean it doesn't fit, it's a stand alone GCD now, if fits in fine, if you're using the new rotation.

Again if you use the new rotation properly, PLD is actually MP positive.

eh tbh at this point just delete cover.

from """strict rotation"""

to 'hardcast holyspirit' and/or 'drop atonement if too slow lmao'

How could I not have noticed the change to potency ... okay that makes far more sense, you have my thanks. I no longer have a problem with this job after the changes then, will also edit my post because I'm an idiot.
