    I'm just going off my bias here as I enjoyed tanking
    I know PLD wasn't a total rework but I feel as if it was changed to appeal to other tank players... I think the rework honestly didn't even try to keep the "feeling" that old PLD had rotationally, it felt different from the other tanks the DOT upkeep was very core to the job, Even if they had to make the job more flexible (being able to stack it or just keeping the second combo letting it do something else) outright removing the DOT second combo made it very spammy and one note, It feels off with how much atonements you get now... it just somewhat blends with other tanks now, It feels like the rework appealed to players who want to play holy Warrior, or slower Gunbreaker, it didn't want to appeal to the actual playerbase that played the job.

    Yeah the job is now more used, In part likely because it's more meta, but mostly because it's easier and now more appealing to your average tank player, But that's the issue... A lot of old PLD players don't want to just play "holy warrior" they want to play Paladin, I'm always welcome to change but not when the job just feels very samey to other jobs.

    Thing that annoys me the most is I just feel like the job was blatantly rushed for a rework and It's not like I outright dislike playing it I've always enjoyed tank but it's lost it's spark to me in a sense. I mainly only play it over other tanks because of visual reasons and comfort. If anything I play DPS way more now because at least I feel like DPS rotations are generally more fun.
