Paladin: Royal Authority/Atonement and Requiescat/Confiteor Replacement Idea

[Zyneste]

Skills that can be consolidated in 5.0 [Proc/Summon Skills Consolidation]

Made a suggestion for Royal Authority into Sword Oath a while back with a couple more consolidations.

So with 5.0 we are seeing some skills changing from multiple skill buttons to just one. An Example of this would be Verthunder turning into VerFlare after your melee combo. An existing one is Geirskogul becoming Nastrond after using Geirskogul while having all three eyes.

PLD-

• Royal Authority becomes Atonement while under the effect of Sword Oath.

Aw good to see it ain't an outta nowhere suggestion, you've covered a greater field for other classes and hope for the best ya post draws notice on the potential where seen fit.

Royal Authority turning into Atonement would probably be fine. At least, I can't think of a scenario where you would want to do Royal Authority with Sword Oath stacks remaining.

Requiescat turning into Confiteor, on the other hand, has some issues. Namely, if you are mashing Requiescat late into your GCD (like during a double weave), then you may end up queuing Confiteor, immediately ending Requiescat.

Just give it a shared internal cooldown of 1.5 seconds or so, or prevent the latter from being queued until the skill transforms (i.e. queue the ability, not the hotbar space) and delay the transformation until the first's animation is nearly done (such that it can still be chained for an instant use of Confiteor, but only if one goes out of their way to make that happen).

I'd just add that if you're going to combine RA into Atonement, it might be worthwhile to (1) make Atonement not break the main combo, and/or (2) make combos unbreakable while Sword Oath stacks remain.

So make it to where you can weave atonements into the standard Paladin Combo?
