PLD Consolidated Feedback Thread

[Thoro39]

It's because, technically, Darkside is not a "stance". For SwO to be oGCD, you would be able to activate both ShO and SwO.
What they should do is simply buff PLD AA, remove SwO and bring back ShO to -20% damage to compensate (And maybe increase the cost of activating ShO).
SwO is the most bland stance since it's the only one to not change how you play your class at all. Even ShO synergize with Holy Spirit.

Your first two sentences do not make any sense. One does not have anything to do with the other, and making SwordOath OffGCD would not cause you being able to activate both SHo and SwO at the same time unless specifically requested and implemented (which I did not).
On another note, this talk about "stance" is unnecessarily focused on semantics and does not contribute anything meaningful.
For all intents and purposes, Grit+ Darkside is the tankstance and nogrit+darkside is the dps stance in terms of gameplay, migitation and dps-output and you do not lose a GCD going from this specified "Tankstance" to "DPS stance" as a DRK, and that's all whats important for the topic I suggested. This talk about "But darkside is not a stance"? Not relevant or in any way meaningful at all.

Your supposed change would exactly do what I suggested, with 1 less button to care about, so that's fine by me, however.

You lose half of one.

Turning Grit off is still on the GCD, it just doesn't trigger the GCD. This is probably one of the most poorly proliferated pieces of information regarding Grit in the entire meta.

Half one is a grand exaggeration. Super grand exaggeration.
You can prequeue in your "Turnoff-Grit" action before the GCD becomes ready, just like you can prequeue/buffer any other OGCD after a GCD and the OGCD gets used as soon as the innate animationlock of using a GCD expires.
Activate Grit, execute one normal Hardslash GCD, press grit again when the GCD clock is finished at around 80%. You will see that Grit turns off as soon as your GCD becomes fully 100% ready without a second buttonpress and barely, if any delay.

I even made a webm-videodemonstration to show it:

You'd be joking if THAT is supposed to be a half-GCD loss, let alone a quarter one.
