SE leave PLD alone, it's fine, just buff WAR and DRK!

They always do this, instead of just buffing the struggling jobs they also nerf the one that's doing fine and end up reversing the situation!

Q3. Currently Paladin feels like it excels both in offensive and defensive capabilities, are there any plans for adjustments to Warrior/Dark Knight?

A3. We will be increasing Warrior and Dark Knight damage.

Making the cast time for Paladin’s Holy Spirit so short made it too powerful, so we will be making adjustments around that point. We’ll also be removing the reduction in the Oath Gauge when switching oaths.

Warrior’s Shake It Off will be adjusted.
Plans for adjustments are currently being talked over, and will be implemented sometime after 4.05.

We have removed the halving of the Beast Gauge when changing stances.
Additionally, the potency during Storm’s Path combo will be increased starting 4.05.

Dark Knight will see potency increases in combo damage.

That's like, the most extremely minor nerf they could have gone with. There is literally no reason to whine.

Its not bad if we can still weave ogcd after each cast without it feeling clunky, currently casting and weaving feels so good so i hope we don't lose that, i would rather take potency nerf than losing that kind of gameplay.

Depends on what they do to it. Holy Spirit is like 28% of my skill/ability damage without MP assistance (cards, bards, etc), and I've gotten it as high as 36% with lots of MP assistance. On a dummy (with melded vit accs) the DPS difference between using it and not using it is like ~900 so messing around with it can be pretty significant. I don't think they'll fuck it up too badly (probably down to 400 potency) because that'd break the rotation, but I'd rather they nerf the physical side of the rotation just because maximizing the magic side by seeing how many nukes you can fire off while still making the Requiescat timer is more fun.

We had one chance to keep all relevant discussion in a single topic.

But you can't just keep buffing everyone........then you need to adjust all content because the average DPS is higher, etc etc etc. It's much, much easier to bring a job down then bring everyone else up

Except they ARE buffing WAR and DRK, so just buff them, leave PLD alone. By nerfing PLD while buffing WAR and DRK it's just going to make PLD underperform. And right before the release of savage content this is going to lead to HW all over again where it's DRK/WAR only cause PLD doesn't bring as much dps.

You had to your time to shine. You had your period where you could do everything and swap stances without punishment. Now you get to feel like what it's like for the rest of us /s

Might be my imagination, but I feel they nerfed classes and raised enemy Hit points. I wouldn't mind the HP raise if DPS skills got more powerful as well. It's a slight slog killing 3-4 mobs. But when many tanks pull 5-10 enemies fights take way too long imo.

Sure we can!
