It kind of is. Now you just burst Fight or Flight and Requiescat together instead of using it separately. Goring Blade too, it looks like. It does kind of lose something not using Goring Blade as often, although we use Holy Spirit instead.

They did. WAR spams Storm's Path and PLD spams Royal Authority. WAR does Fell Cleaves sometimes, PLD does Holy Spirit sometimes. WAR uses Inner Release, PLD uses Requiescat.

Where PLD is better and has been better even before this, is they have a whole extra combo after Confiteor, whereas WAR doesn't have a combo after Primal Rend (hint 7.0).

What helps break up the 1-2-3 combo compared to WAR is that PLD also gets to spam 3 Atonements regularly.

Overall, relatively tame and lackluster.

Eh, it kinda seems like they just shifted away from the Physical > Magical cycle a bit. It reads like you're intended to use your main combo to cast a buffed Holy Spirit and instead use Requiescat charges to cast the full Confiteor/Blade combo.

As long as the Tank Stance button also continues to toggle it, I'm going to keep this new button unbound I think.

I think it's now defaulted ON and you're going to have to turn it off instead of the other way around. Which is good for dungeons.

It's one of the reasons why the old Defiance/Deliverance swaps were so smooth, because you never disabled a buff on WAR, you only activated them. If this addresses what I think it does, it's a QoL change. Hopefully they had the sense to make the two effects share a button, though.

I'll have to see how it works when the servers go up. Maybe it'll make more sense then.
