So I feel divine veil is a consequence of remove the Protect and the StoneSkin. In other words they put on tanks what they took from healers as a temporaly barriers.

Tempered Will was also a mitigation due to take you out the Poision Status and yes is now Arm's Length (and remember was removed the posion and slow. Now is you make them Slow 2 different things)

The Passage of Arms is a sht skill to use and no confortable you just use 1 sec just fast to mitigate the inco damage and thats all no real useful compared to devine veil or reprisal (yeah sure... use by your own but what ever is really useless for 1 sec)

Also don't count the Hspirit with Confiteor and Blades which were added basically as patched in 6.1-2 and not controlable mitigator. because literally was a counter mesure of the warrior been able to solo P1, Circle of Scorn doesn't regen hp is a DoT. Clemency doesn't disrupt your rotation but Aton. does.

Convalecense was a good skill in HW do to you can Clemency yourself or the healer after the TB.

Yes, It is true Mobs don't crit skills anymore and that is why Awareness was removed. Also, this was due to Crit overwrites block and parry.

Shield literally even if "blocks" the skills the % is sht if you compare back in old day that was even 32% and you want that in Nael for example. 20% is NOT enough. (you don't proc. blocks often only was with HSheltron and now is with the Bulkward... So Imagine to basically take you out 20% of block and 15% of mitigation to just put 15-15 :V
That is what they did right now.

Also Now that you mention I feel PLD that a Frankenstein. And we agree that has been over all places and lost his identity long time ago. and more with this shtty 2 mins meta. And agree I don't like the change jobs just to fit this kind of things. I feel even more easier to play old PLD than this new one. I really feel as a GNB specially that my Requierscat feels like a bloodfest charge the 4 skills of the burst...

I agree on Halone Skills as I reasure my first comment. Look so OP so wonderful I want that on the PLD.

Even if they put a counter defense something like Eg:
Phalanx: A percentage of damage is blocked and reflected to the enemy or enemies.
Effect: 20% of the incoming damage is reflected.
Aditonal Effect: Grants 15% of damage reduction during 4 secs.

And yes you need to jump 1 or 2 aton still. If you don't want to drift your whole rotation. People who don't do it just like to be in a drifting rotation.
