PLD - Blade of Valor DoT should stack with Goring Blade.

[Undeadfire]

We're obtaining what we wish, no use discussing more.

Yoshida has stated Paladin will be receiving DPS buffs, that's all we wanted and got the wish.

[Absimiliard]

Here's hoping PLD gets bumped up to DRK levels so we can bathe in the resulting tears.

In my opinion the best way to fix this would be giving valor a physical damage buff equal to fof without being able to stack, lasting about 18 seconds long

This would do two things
Fix paladins low dps output without changing it's general rotation
Fix confiteor openers being awkward

i think give a job 2 DoT is just bad over all (Looking at you DRK). If SE want to stack 2 DOT on PLD its gonner mess up your Rotation. Just give PLD some potency buff and be done with it. The job is so good with tank right now that give them more is just too overpower

Atonement potency buff, Blades potency buff, change the Confiteor/Blades into Skill Speed ruling, Pld does fall so behind raid buffs.

PLD already has 2 dots they can apply at a time in the form of 'Circle of Scorn' and 'Goring Blade' OR 'Blade of Valor'. Having multiple dots does not make a job overpowered. All S.E. would need to do is adjust potencies and they could easily use all 3 at once.

I don't think they should do that, but it's entirely feasible.

meh i think so but i too believe for some reason stacking dots is a dumb mechanic to give in rank role, specially a PLD. I would only wish that atones dont break combos so we can manipulate our timeline more.
i just cant stop thinking the burden that would be to always try keep both of them up 100% of the fight, feels like a Bard gameplay to me but the bad version of it that didnt had Iron jaws

Also WTH Square Enix, why Circle of Scorn sucks so much? id reather have it be a flat damage oGCD, that ability is straight garbo.(sorry ARR Devs. its sad but its true)

I honestly don't see why you would even consider making them stack, Paladin's rotation is already too long (63-64 seconds).

If you had to do a Goring combo after your Valor combo to get both dots ticking it would turn into a complete mess because now you're either adding another 3 GCDs to it, making you definitely drift out of raid buffs and delaying FoF (since even if you dropped an entire Atonement phase you would still be a GCD behind), or you have to drop even more Atonements and overwrite Goring early. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds absolutely awful in practice.

I don't understand why SE decided to do this. Currently PLD is the weakest tank in the game (don't pull the "utility" card because it's not true). Why did they decide to not let us have two DoT's going at once? Because of the new Blade of Valor skill, it screws up our physical DPS rotation and now it's weaker since we can only do 1 Goring Blade during the FoF window instead of 2.

FoF is still 2 Goring Blade. You pop flight before Goring 1, and it falls off after Goring 2. Your entire concept is based on a misconception (and also the Blade of Valor DoT is equivalent to an FoF Goring, so it's a direct upgrade to your rotation).

Could make confiteur not end requiscat ,have req effect blade combo (as they are spells) and also the blade dot. Would save 3 gcds and improve plds damage. Might want to nerf blade combos aoe effectivenes instead of 50% to 70%.
