As a 1.0 player and Playing since ARR times which I haven't quit... I must say this.

PLD in ARR had MORE mitigation toolkit than now let be honest. Rampart, convalecense, awareness, Tempered Will, Sentinel, Bulwark, Foresight, Reprisal, Hallowed Ground. ALL this was self mitigation.
And Today you have Rampart, Sentinel, Bulkwark, Holy Sheltron, Reprisal, Hallowed Ground...

Devs have chopped the PLD since HW over and over... They really don't know what to do with Paladin since then. Even with that main status VIT in HW 3.1 making it useless and doing WAR and DRK mains since then. (I even love the DRK of that time damn it)

Lets be real not even Bulwark work properly as a mitigation skills because some Skills YOU NOT BLOCK IT... what was Yoshi-P says regarding about block magic damage inco. since ARR ownwards? Ah Yeah "PLD will not block magic damage..."

Anyway PLD is just a Frankenstein.

In these sense 123 you got a GCD one is HSpirit the other is Burst Strike. Then the Confitor combo 4 GCDs feels like Wicked Talon Combo + Double Down. Goring Blade feels like Sonic Break same 60 secs recast but different potency.

The diference is that in the loop 1 min you are doing Wicked Talon Combo + continuation.
In PLD you are doing Atonements + Hspirit and as your "continuation" is Circle Scorn and Expiacion.
+Filler (my eggs) with due respect making 3 Hspirits while engage again the boss to fit the rotation again is just garbo... and the result is totally in dps lost...

I got today even my P8S weapon... and still I notice I could sustain more damage with old rotation than this... the requierscat combo was better in this sense in p5s you could keep dpsing while not jumping over the boss from one side to another... Lets be real if this is how they want to make PLD change they need to re-study other games how Shield and Sword works in a battle... even they can get inspiration of HALONE in the Raid! She have a several skills that are amazing for PLD...

At this point again *ranting* I feel PLD a mini GNB
