I’m not a fan of the SAM Rework either; it literally streamlined the job too hard and took what made it fun out of it.

When it comes to PLD, you have to think in light of PLD’s recent shortcomings at the Savage level within the first week. Fight design fought against PLD in particular in P8S because of a reopening phase change that provided a Damage Buff. Considering how hardline PLD’s rotation is, they have difficulty being able to fit their strongest attack(Confiteor) into the buff window.

There is also the fact we have two burst windows, rolling every 60s with about 9-11s inbetween of RA/Atonement Filler, which can force drift with Buffs such as FoF due to having odd seconds left(typically 3s) on the timer before it can be used again. This in turn causes drift on Requiscat usage, drifting every time FoF is clipped by an Atonement due to being at an a certain timer on the GCD.

I believe they want to address this so PLD doesn’t have to be left out in terms of performance, along with (hopefully) changes to Cover and a buff to Intervention.
