Pally Is Almost Perfect

Oath swapping basically did not change. It doesn't cancel our combo anymore. Great. It still takes a turn of the GCD, meaning that the best time to use it is at the start of a combo (typically when FoF comes back around off of CD). Meaning the optimal way of using SwO is: Sword Oath > Fight or Flight > Fast blade ... notice that this usage does not interrupt our combo anyway? That's cuz' it doesn't. The optimal way of using Sword Oath never did. So this change is just window dressing.

The best time to Oath swap would be Fast Blade > Sword Oath > Fight or Flight > Savage Blade.

EDIT: You will lose less hate if none at all performing this combo. Oath swapping this way lets PLD let loose a Goring Blade finisher with full damage ticks instead of that 15% reduced Goring blade damage tick.

Starting in Shield Oath: Fast Blade > Fight or Flight > Riot Blade > Sword Oath > Circle of Scorn > Goring Blade > Shield Oath.

Notice how you lose very little down time in the GCD between Sword Oath and your next GCD ability, making it better than what you are making it out to be.
