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

Those PLD changes are....wholesome. I'm personally still not liking them on paper, but will have to try it firsthand when the server comes up!

Psstt! For every buff other jobs get in their damage, especially in their burst window, are also a buff to our Chain Stratagem!

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.

It says no such thing.

Sword Oath is one of the two statuses granted by completing a melee combo. The other is the new Holy Spirit/Circle booster. The PLD basic combo will be:

Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Royal Authority > Holy Spirit > Atonement > Atonement > Atonement

with the Holy Spirit able to be shuffled into the Atonements if a moment at distance is required.

It's like how DRK still has "Darkside", its former DPS stance, that turns on when you use Edge of Shadow. If you didn't notice that these DPS stances still remain as traits in some form since Shadowbringers, then you weren't paying close attention.
