Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[Sqwall]

I do find it a bit odd reading the words 'I dont want Oath gauge to become 'Clemency Gauge' because it's Sheltron Gauge as it stands... Honestly the more I think about it, the more I realize that OGCD Clemency would not just be 'good', it'd be strong to the point where it needs to be nerfed in potency to not make PLD be 'the absolute best at selfsustain ever move over WAR'. Every 22 seconds, PLD gets 1000p of burst heal, that's strong. For contrast, GNB's Aurora is 1200 per 45s

Clemency and Sheltron are the same healing potency. In what way would anyone use clemency over sheltron at this point.

Holy Sheltron >>>>>> Clemency. Just for the shear fact that it gives mitigation (equal to sentinel btw if but brief)...oGCD...and it's a strong heal to boot.

PLD's only every use clemency if the literal shit hit's the fan...Hallowed is down...a healer is dead....I'm out of oath...and a tank buster is incoming. Throw the raid? Or sacrifice a little DPS for something that might get us through?

PLD's a pretty big brain when you think about it....so much utility that goes pretty much unnoticed. I'm not the greatest PLD (WAR main), but I have taken PLD in savage for troll runs...and it's VERY strong in the defensive and utility category. The fact that I don't have to double weave or sometimes triple weave mitigation on PLD is a telling sign how strong it is.

It's strict rotation is another story....one miss step...2 GCD's off....and your toast rotation and DPS wise. You'll be out of raid buff windows so bad it becomes a lost cause, and then you just do your best. PLD's have to have tunneling issues....I know I do when I play PLD just due to how focused I am to not drift.
