Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

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).



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.

feels like most people are convinced it's not a well Thought-out system the problem is I doubt anything will change until 7.0 (If we're lucky).
I really enjoy Paladin, I really don't want it similar to every other tank but I guess that's where we're heading.

I'm not even sure if anything will change with 7.0. The casual player usually doesn't engage with their job enough to even notice it or they simply don't care and SE is clearly more interested in chopping up all the jobs until they fit the 2 minute mold instead of getting a different mold.


I'm simply not optimistic that it will get better instead of worse when you look the the trajectory of combat design from Stormblood to now.
