So does every hate new PLD now?

[Riion]

I hate it. To me, PLD was near perfect, and what they've replaced it with is a hideous mess. I've mained PLD for near a decade through the hardest content in the game and always thought the progression of it's rotation was ordered and logical. The old rotation was structured in such a way that you always knew what was coming off cooldown based on where you were in the rotation. It fit together so well, but not anymore. Only thing I can do is vote with my wallet, so I've canceled my sub.

I don't hate my PLD as it was the very first job I leveled to 90. However, I hate what they did with this last update. The nerfed it's over all damage, took away how we could recover MP, and other things. To reinforce this, the PLD was the only tank to be hit with the 'Nerf Sledgehammer of Doom,' the others weren't and they got a small buff. Figure that one out.

The PLD, IMNSHO, was in a very good place and required no changes in the magnitude that they did. Essentially, they've change the PLD to the point that the DKN & GNB are better than the PLD. Thus making the Warrior the premier tank in the game. Of which, my WAR is my new main level 90 tank.

I'm incline to let my PLD's armor gather dust until such time these developers fix what I believe they broke. Why? Here's the key question for me. The answer? "To make it simpler to play. In other words, they dumbed it down lowering the level complexity required to play it."

So, welcome the old but new Patch 3.0 V2 PLD

Square Enix promised to rework Paladin and then despicably nerfed it. This is inexcusable folly.

It was as you said...they reworked it. They never said it wouldn't be nerfed.

I like new streamlined Paladin significantly more, than the clunky, sleep inducing, antisynergistic job, it was before

[dwodmots]

At first I didn' like it (lmao hardcasting Holy Spirit) but then someone came up with the priority based filler rotation, which is a lot of fun to play.

I think it's basically a case of 'missed opportunity', like I don't necessarily hate it, I'll get used to it over time, but compared to what it could have been I think it's kinda just 'eh'. It does what it's meant to.

Bulwark can go to 15s though please and thank

I like the new Paladin, quite a bit ... yeah it has issues like I think Requiescat should be 25y.

The hard cast Holy Spirits did upset me, until I found you can weave that part into down time on the boss fairly easy then it grew on me and now I "kinda" like it though I'm almost certain this is not intended by the devs and will be changed like buffing Atonement or something.

I do feel like a lot of people don't like the new Paladin ... unless its a vocal minority, it has however made me hesitant to main the Paladin if so many people DO in fact want it changed.

Rotation feels clunky, really not a fan when you have played GNB or DRK.

Cover still useless, you can’t tell me they checked it and went «*all good here*»

Still uses crappy ice spells instead of Light. Hate to say it but WoW paladin’s thematically just looks better. Guardian from Fail Wars 2 would be another good example.

Which part of Paladin is using ice spells? Its abilities are all light/holy themed.
