PLD changes

[ClusterDreams]

Even with some of the QoL changes to the defensive kit, the biggest issue is that the class feels bad to play now. It feels legitimately awful to play, especially in encounters with inconsistent uptime.

The 60s rotation feels overly restrictive and punishing because missing a single GCD has the potential to ruin your ability to sync with raid buffs. The 120s rotation feels a lot more flexible in this regard. However, it feels extremely clunky with the need to stop and hard cast in the middle of every filler combo.

Idk what SE is doing. This doesn't even address the main concerns that they voiced with the job. I feel like as more people get their hands on the job, the people who played it before are going to move on to other jobs and not many new people will play this. Because why would you pick this over Gunbreaker?

I'm probably going to take an extended hiatus after this tier until sometime during the next expansion because I don't think I've ever been this frustrated with the current state of the game and its direction.
