    I understand the Confiteor/Req/Blades thing now I think, the non-Req potency for the Blades is for if you're mid combo and run out of Req stacks, cos you did HS-HS-Conf-Blade(run out here)-Blade-Blade. Which means I guess yes it's a potential noobtrap of sorts. Ridiculous. I cant even picture what the rotation's gonna feel like with Atonement still existing in the same form, Fast, Riot, RA, Atone, Atone, Atone, HS, repeat for 50s till next FOF is gonna be so weird. Being able to move the HS about in between the Atones is... nice I guess, but the question is if it/Atone still break the 123

    And why do we STILL have bloody Shield Bash? PLD was already kinda suffering for hotbar space and with Bulwark being added back I'd assumed we'd be removing useless crap like Shield Bash. But no, still there. Weird priorities

    Yeh, we do 4 HS in Req. At 80 we swap one out for Confiteor, and at 90 we swap the other 3 out for the Blades. I think. Which is definitely different from pressing IR, then Primal Rend, then 3 Fell Cleaves

Not to mention, Divine Might is also giving us the 400 potency cure every 4th GCD, which is presumably meant to finally give proper compensation to PLD for lacking a cure on their filler combo.
    Holy Spirit costs MP right? I assume the limiter on us being able to just ignore Atonement like that is that we'd run dry on MP, Atonement is our main source of regenerating it
