    Paladin Reworks??

    Hello, I am out of the loop it seems because I am seeing people asking not to change paladin? I am a paladin main and I would personally like to know if I am about to be publicly executed, it would help.

    I would also like to know if the devs have ever said anything about making the job itself make sense? I am hoping that is what everyone means by rework. But by the amount of people complaining I am assuming we aren't going to get a retcon of the story and a replacement, or any future skills that actually relate to a god or faith. Cause I am kinda sick of paladins being more mercenary than holy warrior.

    Don't get excited, be worried instead because it's just going to turn it into a standard 2 minute burst job like every other in the game and feel exactly the same while making the job much more boring. Req will now give 3 stacks to allow you to do 3 Holy Spirits then finish up with Confiteor. Fight or Flight will probably give 3 stacks of Sword Oath, too.

    PLD mains are going through the 5 stages of grief right now.
    I finally am on the acceptance stage fellcleave pld here we go!!

    Realistically PLD should be getting changes, but this also Should include it's defensives in my opinion (yes dps matters more but defensives are also important). Problem is I think the devs will ignore any issues or "useless" abilites such as cover, they won't also likely fix any "jank" with other abilites.

    The most likely thing they will do is
    1. Remove fof, this is a second burst phase, they could also reduce all melee attacks even more.
    2. Make Req even stronger and more bursty.
    3. Confitior will be super power auto crit but on a 120 CD, (so non 120 you will just use holy spirits and no confit at the end).


    I could see other directions, but I feel like it won't be anything inspired or that makes the job more interesting. also not assuming they will fix PLD atonement drifting, I mean they could? but from the post I feel like they will only address burst related issues with the job.

    If they change it, I'll just main black mage. We all know that job is safe.

    I mean it's worse than every melee so that's not very safe

    I'm not a meta player. I value a good kit over the numbers it can do, especially considering I don't raid current savage.

    I somewhat agree with this statement, I honestly do want BLM to do better numbers though. (it should be top deepz!)

    In general though whats more important to me is job feel over meta.

    I thought BLM was more fun and satisfying when it was the least mobile job in the game instead of RDM now currently being ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
