Remove/adjust Goring Blade.

Agreed. It's just kind of a stupid button that's there "because it was there" and they don't want to take it away. But heck, PLD got Bulwark as a new keybind, so just baking Goring's damage into Confetti would make a lot more sense than keeping it around just because.

And for the love of god, can we change Royal's animation? Goring's I like better, Halone's I like better, I even like Fast and Riot better. Royal's little "spin, cut, magic glowy ball for whatever reason" I just have never liked. I'd rather it be the low level one that upgrades to Rage of Halone, which is still an animation that I love. Goring Blade's makes me think of the various Armor Break skills from FFTactics (the big magic blade slice out of the ground things). I'd honestly rather that be the standard animation. Royal Authority's animation has bothered me since the skill was introduced in HW...

.

I do agree that new PLD isn't as bad as it was predicted, but there's some stuff like that which is just like "Why???" Goring is now just a budget Double Down that isn't nearly as satisfying to push and takes up an extra slot in the Tank Job that already has the most buttons. At least Double Down's animation and sound effect make it feel really good to use, and it actually has a potency that's noticeable.

It's maybe a weird thing to harp on, but with it being made so similar to other tanks now, it really does feel apparent how weak PLD's animations are, generally. Holy Spirit was our Fell Cleave analogue and now it's more like our Burst Strike? But it looks and sounds like crap compared to either. Atonement is okay but is basically just a tweaked Riot Blade, and it seems like most of us feel like Royal Authority's magical princess spin is a downgrade from Rage of Halone's noisy flailing.
