PLD Goring Blade is still boring

[ThorinG]

I was hoping with DT that Goring blade will get an animation upgrade or any additional effect, but none of that happened, GB as it is now is boring and the animation does not translate to the high potency damage it has.
I think adding an additional on it ( lets call it " White Fang") that enhances the next 3 physical damage abilities Will add some flavor to it, and bring some of the job feel that it had prior to the EW rework.

I was thinking of adding some minor self heal effect to make ot close to (strangers of paradise) white fang ability, but with the tanks self sustain state it will be an overkill.

I'd love it if somehow it becomes Rage of Halone. Royal Authority looks OK but it's just a little spin and forgettable compared to Halone with the flurry of swings and that iconic sound effect

So maybe they could just swap Goring and Halone? It'd be a little confusing at first but better in the long run.
Either that or just some sort of new Halone type attack to replace Goring, it could even be one of her Ice Aspected attacks to stick out as something special.

They should rework goring blade back into the 2nd combo path.

Not saying it has to be a strict DOT, but PLD's rotation flow was ruined a bit making it a basic 1, 2, 3 job with stacks that always spend the same way is boring, I at least like DT pld better then 6.3 due to how atonement actually gives you things to line up every 60s but it's still nearly not enough.

Fight or flight should have been deleted already, theirs no point in current goring blade and fight or flight, you have req for burst (you can just up the damage of ur magic sword combo to be higher), goring blade is a "burst button" but it's almost like you have 4 other burst buttons that are higher potency and a ogcd, I really don't understand why goring blade was kept.

I Understand why they reworked PLD, But they could have at least made skills like goring blade into something more interesting.

GB is one issue of many others..

like for god sake why we have shield when there is no shield combo? I don't get it this is a shield JOB

I think most of the problems were the seperation of PLD phys and magic with no mercy and that was fixed, the dot goring blade plays well into PLDs advantages, it didn't do high burst damage compared to the other tanks but had amazing combat tools to keep uptime especially with old requiescat where you had like 4 holy spirits and 4 swords combo allowing 8gcds where you could be out of melee. Its pretty much just the 2 minute burst meta that killed PLD because it having a lack of strong burst but really good flat damage and uptime is just not viable within this design choice, I really don't know what they can do with goring blade in this meta, probably just keep it as a blasting zone move. Its boring and uninteresting but thats all jobs in this game while under the meta and the root cause has to be destroyed before things can be interesting again.

I feel like they could flip the script on Goring Blade where instead of popping Fight or Flight to be able to use Goring Blade, you use Goring Blade to apply a debuff on enemies where they take more damage for a duration.

Every single 1 attack is boring. Old Goring Blade was also boring. And the animation transitions perfectly into Imperator.

[Carighan]

I mean, yeah, but it's also not meant to look visually interesting. It's just there to be a post-FoF GCD to then press your main oGCDs after in a double-weave.

For the big visually impressive hits, we got the swordgasm combo.

Update the animation, make it an AoE, done.

That and an update to Circle of Scorn are the 2 things I wanted in DT and didn't get, not that I am unhappy with what we got.
