Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[fulminating]

with that mentality why do you play an mmo instead of a moba? job identity and individually is much more than "what buttons you press". DRK identity is being an edgy emolord, warrior identity is being a raging berserker, samurai identity is doing anime poses, etc

Paladin has the gladiator and holy knight stuff, warrior had the drain hp stuff and offence/defence trade thing, dark knight had fallen knight and dark arts. Scholar had tactical poison mage and faeries, summoner had tactical poison mage and primal stuff.
There’s only so much lipstick you can put on a pig.

as far as i know, they're not removing those aspects from paladin
if you're referring to healing by attacking, i recommend reading storm's path and raw intuition/bloodwhetting tooltips. they also have equilibrium, for even more self-healing
the DRK job quests still have the whole "fallen knight" stories, and they still use dark magic
scholar still has fairies
well, the job is called "summoner", not "poisoner", which is probably why they redesigned it into the current iteration
