It's almost always 3 steps back, 1 step forward.
I do not disagree with your post though I have a counterpoint: The Ninja Rework of Shadowbringers, which I'd say gave the DevTeam confidence to roll out such reworks mid-Expansion.
My suggestion for a PLD rework would've been to turn Fight'o Flight and Requiescat into traits, so you won't have cast times when you unlock the Req Trait anymore..
and changing Absolution maybe even removing it because.. what does this skill do/contribute in the grand scheme of things? well reincorperating Absolution may be better I guess.
