Comprehensive breakdown over Endwalker job balance

[...]Also, with how Fight or Flight shares the same 60s CD with Requiescat, and as there's no reason to not use both at the same time, they might as well just become one skill...

Why would you want to use both at the same time? FoF only buffs PLD's physical attacks. Holy Spirit/Circle, Confiteor, and all Spellblades aren't affected.

Does it not affect them? I haven't done any deep testing so I am not certain, and if it doesn't I guess I am in the wrong on that one.

FoF only works on physical damage, Holy Spirit, Confiteor and your entire Blade combo are all magic damage so Fight or Flight does literally nothing for them.


The way paladin is set up is that you alternate between your buffed physical dps phase and your buffed magic dps phase, with 1 unbuffed physical combo afterwards before it repeats.
It doesn't really have a burst phase and is one of the very few remaining sustain dps jobs, although their magic phase deals quite a bit more damage than their physical phase.
