Wait a minute, what do you mean 3 Holy Spirits? I've never heard of that before.
wait? outside of specific fight timings…is there a reason to only be doing 3 Holy Spirits in Shadowbringers? Theres no way you're holding an attonement through that and a goring combo
Man, I remember HW Paladin.
Now look how far it's come.
Daaaaaark
Why are they adding all these big AOE attacks in EW? I feel like AOE is only really useful in dungeons. Unless they plan on adding some sort of "Savage" dungeon tier, I don't really understand the point.
PLD is looks great most noticeably the self healing as I though The Authority combo should have healed but this is much better.
bald peepogiggle
Paladin looks incredible, I wish DRK got that good of an upgrade when coming from SB to ShB
You think PLD will finally be MT and not OT?
Sooo hyped. Easier veil proc? Shell/intervention buffs?!? Magic phase damage heals! And yeah the new confi combo is cool, but I'm loving these defensive boosts. Now if only they could make cover a bit more useful. I have cover as a mouse over so its a bit easier to use in panic moments. But it's pretty rare that it's critical.
I guess that knights resolve is what they meant by making proper timing of defensive s more rewarding.
Xeno did not go
The most underrated change I see almost nobody talk about is that Confiteor got hit with a pretty heavy nerf compared to other skills. Looks like they spread some of its potency to the rest of the magic phase. It's great cuz now PLD damage isn't as reliant on Confiteor crit RNG. Assuming potency recalculations aren't really weird, of course.
Surprised he didn't mention that the new Confiteor combo also restores mp. I wonder if that is gonna change anything about the rotation at all. Though thinking about it we would still have to wait for Req CD.
Grins in Paladin.
Isn't the rotation today 4 Holy Spirits – 1 Confeitor? It's a 10s duration, so with a modest amount of SkS you can get 4+1 in, making your use up all your mana?
The new rotation is just that, but now we have an AoE goring blade that follows and immediately refreshes our mana regen. So we can go to a Royal Authority proc until FoF is up?
Things are about to get Real salty when he starts talking DRK.
Yoyoyoyoyoyoyo
Req is not on timer thank the fuck.
The only "downside" to this, is that it makes the Req. first opener, even more trash. Req first opener is pretty much dead unless something big comes up in the potencies. Not really that much of a loss, TBH, but it is the only "downside" I can think of.
Oh. Ah. Hmm.
Requiescat no longer boosts healing. Not sure how I feel about that. I've been using it with Clemency to great effect sometimes. Healer dies early on to a dungeon boss and I can heal everyone else for basically the whole fight.
I'm very 2 sided on PLD, though in general I do very much love what they are doing. On one side, I have Holy Sheltron, Intervention buffs, healing on Holy Spirit/Holy Circle/Divine Veil, Expiacion (which… might actually be a misspelling of Expiation, which means "the act of making amends or reparation for guilt or wrongdoing; atonement.") and the way the Blade combo looks. On the other side, I have the fact that we're still at a 63 second rotation and the way the Blade combo functions. The 63 second rotation is just dumb and could literally be solved by making our spells cost 2.5k MP instead and giving us 4 stacks on Requiescat instead. The way the Blade combo functions is objectively good, because if nothing else, it makes our "cooldown" phase stronger. I was just expecting a little more from our capstone than AoE Goring Blade. However, for dungeons and (if we get any) any AoE fights in raids/trials, this will be super nice.
The biggest thing for me with PLD is that Requiescat makes your casts instant PERIOD instead of needing a trait applied later meaning that it will benefit greatly when going back to level 70 content.
Dude, why they dint invite you for media tour?
does confitoer change into the 3 follow up abilities or is it 4 separate keybinds?
Here's my unsolicited opinion.
Xeno dusting off the old YouTube account and getting an editor is the single best thing he has done for his viewers.
EDIT: Xeems if you read this can we get a "HELLO FRIIEENNDS" just for one video?
The editing done by your new editor is a huge improvement, but the way the tooltips slightly move around while you're reading them is so nausea inducing.
This will be my main going into Endwalker. Excellent changes, love the added self-healing and sustain, and the extra 3 ranged attacks just add to uptime flexibility giving Pally an even bigger advantage in range-heavy fights, just so good. Best of all it doesn't look like it will feel very different, I love the way Paladin plays right now and it'll be pretty much the same going into the next expansion.
I didn't play PLD at all in SHB. Will change that with EW.
the changes that all tanks got going into endwalker has gotten me into full tinfoil hat mode of like: are they going to scale tank damage such that these new skills make us take similar damage to previous expansions and we're going to NEED these new tools, or are tanks just going to be absolutely invincible and healers just never need to heal them.
im a bit bummed by the confi combo because technically its goring in a trenchcoat. but the healing is coolio
Im just waiting for the dunkelritter vid
Wouldn't paladins now have the same cooldowns as the other tanks with holy sheltron? the only downside being you obviously have to have 50 gauge so it may not to be as on demand? only been max lvl for a month now so coming from a new player perspective
So much good stuff here….DRK main here crying my eyes out though…
Hey so is it possible to main both WAR and PLD with only one set of melds now you think? I know we had to have skill spd on WAR but the changes in EW look like we won’t need to differentiate sets. Can anyone more knowledgeable give me any insight on this?
DRK changes video waiting room, I hope he tears the class to shreds, Im so upset with its changes. PLD looks awesome though.
delete pld
Can't wait for him to explain DRK, that's going to be entertaining.
I feel like something else to note is that Requiescat now lasts 30 seconds and just stacks to 5. You can activate it a little bit after Fight or Flight runs out, then use the individual holy spirit stacks at any point as long as you save the Confiteor itself so that Blade of Valor lines up with raid buffs on loop 2+, and then when a phase transition happens you can just shift it forward to avoid losing a cast.
Quick note, according to the peeps who did go to the Media Tour, the heal from Divine Veil is for everyone who gets the barrier, as they're the "targets". This means that you not only don't get the barrier, you don't get the heal either. Now, Holy Spirit and Holy Circle ARE spells, and heals from spells are what proc Veil, so you're right, most likely we can pop our own veil now by just doing Spirit/Circle, which is great if we're in the magic phase of the rotation, but otherwise it doesn't matter too much other than if you want to take the time out of your combo to cast a spell for it, it can do damage instead of just healing via clemency.
I wish lvl 90 paladin gear didn't look like ass compared to everyone else this update.
Anyone else waiting to have their rage validated in the DRK video?
Already went from DRK to PLD, after looking the live letter I got pretty excited and with the media tour it seems my hype was well founded.
The only real negative with PLD now is the awful CD on HG. 7 mins is just way too long now and all the others match its 10s duration. In past encounters HG was the only Invuln that consistently had issues with lining up cleanly with CD rotations (ie it's the only Invuln that isn't up for a Chastening Heat in TEA if you Invuln the Drainage Tether). Shit like that just puts HG on the bottom, even below LD and that's just pathetic
Damn if I fucked up on the confiteor, theres gonna be a lot of damage lost
Xeno awesome as usual
Peepo knight next
