PLD changes; thoughts?

[ForsakenRoe]

I'd have to look at all the guides and actually use my brain, which is something I try to avoid doing whenever possible, but aren't most burst windows initiated with an oGCD? Confiteor opening the window on a GCD seems like it would be odd man out.

The issue is that PLD now has a burst window within it's burst window. when we consider that FOF is the 'burst window initiator' OGCD, as with No Mercy, then it becomes apparent that really, we don't need Req as such. It'd be like if Gnashing Fang required a specific OGCD before it, and we called that 'the burst window initiating OGCD'. Conf-Blade-Blade-Blade is like DoubleDown-Gnashing-Savage-Wicked, if we keep the GNB parallels going.

it's more we don't need fight or flight, it does nothing for the job right now for PLD, I think it just needs to be removed buff req burst buff goring blade, FOF is a ability you just press with req to buff it basically it's a pointless 1 minute weave, Surprised they didn't make it 2minutes to fit more with raid buffs really. In general FOF makes no sense as a buff, it will only make sense if PLD still had two separate buffs that couldn't effect each other, or was on a longer CD and made PLD have a bigger 2 minute burst.

Magic, Divine might and possibly req should be gained pretty early to compensate for this change, allows pld to do more then 1, 2, 3 in ARR/HW content, I think you could also change it so Confiteor, the following blades also just work without req but that makes PLD feel even worse at lower levels (Stormblood/SHB Pld) so I rather they just remove FOF and lean into the magic part of PLD a lot eariler.

It's apparent that stacking both self buffs just feels really weird and pointless, other then goring blade FOF is my main issue with the rework as it stands... ok maybe more "main issues" but I defiantly feel like new PLD just needed more time being worked on really, I hope we're going to be seeing adjustments in the future patches 6.4 especially I don't expect something Major but I think they should, still look into changing PLD, they got down the basics in 6.3, I'm really hoping for some real polish in 6.4, current PLD feels good... just rushed honestly? I think that's the right way to describe what we got.
