PLD changes; thoughts?

[ForsakenRoe]

Divine veil didn't get new animations but new VFX. And maybe some animations looks old (the same as VFX on them), but i think the winner in the category oldest animation is the Warrior Storm Path.

Path has got to be one of the crappiest animations in the entire game. #Bring Back Butchers Block

edit: Just been looking at things about PLD, namely Rin Karigani's 'clean loop' video. He has this very nice graphic to illustrate:



I see 24 GCDs, 7 of which are Atonements, in a pattern of 3, 1, 3 (or 3,2,3 with any amount of skillspeed). So i'm thinking, if we cut Sword Oath to just one stack, we'd move down to 1,1,1 and save ourselves 4 (5 with SS) GCDs. And what is 5 GCDs long? Fast, Riot, Royal, Atonement, HolySpirit. So maybe we can finally get rid of the weird unintuitive 'btw you have to purposely drop Atonements from your combo' thing. Also, if I could, I'd make Atonement not break combo, and have range to it (give it a VFX where a big spectral sword of light thrusts forward, so it is distinct looking from Riot Blade's animation), so that it and HS can both be used at any point before the next RA for versatility in peeling off for mechanics. Yeh it'd maybe suck to go to 'lmao spam 12345' but I don't see much difference between it and 'lmao spam 1234555' which is what we have now.
