Further, the -4 second and -18 second openers, and the new slowboi rotation for GCDs at 2.46 and slower, will all use Requiescat earlier so it won't "sit there at full for over 30seconds". Also, not every job needs to be so resource centric, it's part of not making every job play exactly the same.

    And during certain points when DoTs aren't ticking isn't wasteful if you're gaining more DPS by delaying it's refresh or you won't get a sufficient amount of ticks to break even or gain, before the boss jumps, but otherwise on the standard loop, you DoT is never off really long enough that you really lose much in the way of DoT ticks.

    PLD is about managing two 60second recast buffs rather than resource, and neither element is competing against each other, as both buffs do 2 similar but different things.

    Personally, I feel you actually need to take a bit of time to finish levelling PLD and put a little effort into playing and understanding PLDs gameplay from a less biased view, and dabble in some of the possible optimisations before trying to criticise the job.
    No I think I'll get my last level funished then not touch it again until about 7.2.

    Okay, then miss out on the complete rotation.
    The simplicity of casual PLD and the situational optimization of the rotation.
    Max level PLD rotation is in my eyes the best of all tank's.
    Not to busy but entertaining enough to not fall asleep.
    The chance to give your static RDM the melee position during your lengthy magical burst phase.
