Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[Absurdity]

This is why everyone is anxious about PLD rework. Because the job isn't getting reworked to fix it, but rather to force it into the meta.

It's not just that it's getting reworked to force it into the meta but that CBU3 has a track record of making the gameplay worse in the process.

I look forward to spamming my 1-2-3 combo on paladin for 45 seconds until the Req window happens and then maybe I also get to press Fight or Flight during every 2 minute window (feel free to switch Req and FoF around depending on which of the 2 gets the 120 seconds cooldown).

oh I'm well aware..... on paper it sounds pretty good for everyone to burst every 2 minutes so it's easier to balance... Problem is how much it restricts job design into something formulaic and boring, balancing is finding a good middle ground with jobs that are interesting and play differently from one another, but also making sure jobs are somewhat viable in content is also important.

I think we just need to move away from 2 minutes in general... at least the majority of people i know dislike it, the most balanced approach isn't always the best one. (otherwise jobs would be one button and do the same damage).

You don't need to tell me that, I've seen it happen to Dark Knight, I've seen it happen to WAR and I've seen it happen to GnB.


GnB being the least offensive one since it still has actual gameplay between bursts but DrK is "spam 1-2-3 for 45 seconds and then spam every oGCD you have" while warrior is "spam 1-2-3, occasionally 1-2-4, for 45 seconds, then press IR and get all your burst for free"
