Give us back the old Paladin

The change doesn't cause casual players to get locked out of dungeons and other casual content.

Yeah, non-raider PLD mains weren't getting locked out of content, they just had to lose a play-style they enjoyed in all content for a small subset of the content that they don't participate in. Like my later comment, I'm not talking about damage or performance, I'm referring to the playstyle that existed for 10 years and was just removed in 6.3 on a whim.

I will agree, it is one of the more opinionated answers I gave and not necessarily the strongest one, however, just looking at it objectively, old PLD was fine in all content EXCEPT Savage/Ultimate. New PLD is fine in all pieces of content. Looking at it like that, objectively speaking, the new PLD is better as it covers more content and to be clear, you can pretty much do anything you want to a job, it will be fine in the easier content irregardless, which is why the emphasis is on the harder content out there.

As for the old rotation, how would it be changed to better suit the meta? Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer the 2 minute meta has hurt the game, and jobs, more than it has helped, however, this is the hand we have been dealt with, so this is what er have to use.

Minor Correction: The two minute meta is the hand that raiders have been dealt with the latest raid tiers. The only content where two minute raid buffs have any impact in whether the content can be cleared is 8 player content with tight DPS checks (which is 5 -- soon to be 6 -- instances of content). Most content in the game does not need to adhere to this meta in the slightest and can still be cleared.

As it stands, regardless of my feelings on it (or how I would have opted to address these problems) SE sided with the raid community and prioritized how PLD performs in Savage/Ultimate at the expense of how it plays in the rest of the game which is equally if not more unfair. That's the only point that I was raising.

I'm glad that you enjoy the new rotation, I don't care for it and will probably find a new main.
