Hi guys! Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive reaction to this video, kindly Subscribe if you like this sort of content, I do mainly tank guides and optimized run videos. Please also share to those who need this video especially those who want to try Paladin this tier. Much love 😀
Disclaimer:
I don’t claim this is the best rotation ever, I simply share what I think works for me. Don’t take 100% of my word and do your own research, there’s a lot of resources out there.
The 6.3 Paladin Rework in my opinion is very good. They might need to tweak the potency but as far as I’m concerned, it’s definitely a buff on Ultimate this tier with Requiescat inside FoF being a superbuff burst window. (Especially if there’s a lot of downtime)
The Mitigation changes are especially good, you can check the changelogs yourself here:

but TLDR; Divine Veil is usable whenever u need it, Holy Sheltron is not Block Based, and we got 1 extra mit that is Block.
I did clear P5-P8S as this new PLD, but I need extra time to actually feel the rotation and optimize on the fly, Please look forward to it.

Very nice guide! I'm PLD main and this is by far the best combo i'm certain of doing. Keep it up!
Thank you for such a great explanation!
CHAD SEAL OF APPROVAL
Thank you so much. All these Drop "this" amount of Atonements and Hardcast "this" have been quite confusing. It's nice to find a simple loop to follow for now.
Awesome guide, ty!
Man this is my new go to for guides, The Balance discord has way too many opinions and my dumbass does not know who to listen too😂So sticking with this. Ggz!
Now is fun
RIP my Fast PLD, and RIP my melding 😭😭😭
thanks for the guide, always clear as pure water
I played around with the changes on patch day, and this is the exact same rotation I came up with.
makasih kak ven guide nya, pantes kok kayak kenal halaman rumahnya. ternyata. 😀
Only thing I wish for now is let Attonement not break your combo.
I feel like this seems overly complicated to beginner PLD players but in a real nutshell it's :
intro (fast blade > riot blade)
pre-main DMG phase (FoF > RA (RoH pre-Lv60) > EX (or SW for lower tiers) > CoS)
Main DMG phase (GB > IV (Intervene, not Intervention) > RQ > HS > IV > CF > BoF > BoT > BoV)
Finisher is just Atonement 3 times (AM > AM > AM), lower tiers (<Lv76) just skip to intro
repeat
Addendum: (note: BoF / BoT / BoV not available until Lv90; most likely for lower tiers it skips this to the finisher, also, if pre-Lv 60, drop RQ, HS / HC and all beyond)
Letting an atonement stack drop feels horrible. It's like a scab on your arm. It's just sitting there and all your mind and will is focused on not picking it…
…but you do. And then you feel terrible. What am I doing with my life? Is there such a thing as free will? Am I just some mindless meat puppet whose strings are controlled by stacks of atonement?
mantap ser
After the opener you’re supposed to hold the 2nd DMHS you get before FoF comes back up so that your next FoF window starts with a buffed HS and ends with a buffed HS
Are you still liking this rotation?Have you adjusted anything?
Thanks for this! I was able to finish our weekly savage run with this rotation just now 😅 Not sure if it's just me…but man does it feel even more repetitive than pre-patch :/
You forgot to precast HS at -2 before pull.
This is my new favorite rotation! It feels nice that I don't have to always chase optimization because I play savage casually on PF and this rotation feels good and fun to memorize.
Cute glam.
i did the math for this and the potency for using holy spirit THEN your confetior equals way more damage than just doing confetior ill show the math here. the first number represents without requicast then the next represents with its damage boost and remember confetior does 50% less damage to everyone else. they wouldnt have added a holy circle and holy spirit requicast boost if u werent supposed to use it
400-900 200-700 300-800 400-900 holy spirit: 450-650X4.
which means: not doing any holy spirit under requicast equals 3300 and doing holy spirit under requicast x4 times THEN doint confetior is 3900
