Questions like this are why so many things have been homogenized.

If they just speak Japanese they'd probably read the Japanese forum. They don't like posting the same content in two language's forums though so I'd suggest not doing that.
Shake already healed the party just like veil did. They were functionally equivalent. Again, I am not advocating for these changes, just wondering the rationale behind it. Citing "because their aoe is inconsistent" doesn't work when another job have this issue. A reasoning such as "we'd like to differentiate it from RPR" would be more tolerable.

I know that they prefer separating forums based on the language, but I'd rather break forum convention and get slightly higher chances of this being read than not doing anything. I feel like EN feedback is barely considered but that's another topic.

Yes, PLD suffered more from this issue, but i do not see why it warranted a rework rather than continual potency adjustments. I would take several more patch cycles and maintenance days rather than practically deleting a job. Old PLD is the hardest tank by far and fits the bill for the "high dps, difficult job" niche that BLM had. If DoTs did not interact well with downtime then they should fix the issue rather than removing the DoT.
