Conflicted with new PLD 6.3

[Gserpent]

I still don't really like that even now with PLD. I hate the fact that it's more optimal to literally drop atonement stacks specifically because it'll drift your stuff along with everyone else. I can't really think of any other class that willingly drops remaining resource stacks and it doesn't feel nice.

To be devil's advocate for FoF my guess is it's still there for your AoE in dungeons to do more damage. The same could be asked why GNB has No mercy when you literally use it to spam through your cartridges and toss a couple DoTs on the boss. Still doesn't feel great with either because it isn't an insignificant damage increase

The solution is dead simple, so it doesn't surprise me Square-Enix didn't think of it.

Req is now simply a trait upgrade to FoF. Bam, done. Press button, receive 25% more damage. At level 68 (or whenever, Req and all of the spells should probably be 50-60 material), pressing the button also gives you the Req buff. At 80, you can use Confiteor instead of Holy Spirit for one of those charges. At 90, you use all of the charges on Confiteor combo. Additionally, replace the FoF/Req button with Confiteor and the Blades spells when you have the Ready to Confiteor buff.

I think a while back I said I'd be disappointed about goring blade giving you 30 seconds of Fight or flight like warrior, you could stack it up to 60 It's funny how Goring blade got something way more lazier done to it, now I'm actually wanting goring blade to give you a damage buff similar to warrior... Just liked having the different combo on PLD.

Req/fof both existing at the same time feel really awkward for the Job, I don't like constantly weaving on jobs, I don't like how FOF is a set timer either, I rather just have a stack system at this point or a buff that can be stacked, its also not like PLD's got a lot of space currently.

Well they chose to keep FoF because reasons (lazy?), otherwise I would agree - just make Goring Blade a 10% damage up buff like WAR, increase base potencies as needed, and just have Req be "ranged inner release."
