    There are other complaints like how the tick system in 14 means you could never do something like “speeding up a DOT” to make it tick more often and it’s even debatable if you could make a DOT explode for the remainder of its damage based on the system but that’s less DOT’s being non functioning and more that the system limitations makes them boring
    I found PLD's dot very important to its gameplay loop, currently you're just spamming 1, 2, 3 and atonement That's my issue, really feels awful how low the bar is set for tank rotations and PLD used to be the medium skill floor (fairly easy to get into) but high skill celling tank (hard to master), Now it's just press whatever lights up. It's really uninspired and boring like the other tanks.

    I didn't really find PLD having DOT to be the issue it just made the job more strict the actual issue was having two seperate bursts in a burst window. The DOT combo could have been kept but the "solution" was to instead make it a 60s CD which just sucks.

    Honestly PLD had one of the better designed DOT's at least in SHB.

    Tick rate, "speeding up the DOT" doesn't matter, I guess the boss sometimes goes untargetable but that can actually be fun in itself as you can optimise knowing when the boss will go untargetable and learning if its worth it to do DOT combo or standard combo based on timing and damage.

    I just feel that people who were aganist the OLD DOT combo didn't even like PLD to begin with before the rework, which exactly the rework is designed for warrior, Drk or gunbreaker players not people who actually liked PLD up until the rework.
