Thank you for taking the time to watch, I think I'll try and cater my guides to more of a leveling experience in the future but also cover max level too, still something in consideration but I think it oculd help a lot :)

Something that got past my reviewing stages (I've been up all night so was easy to miss I guess) is I mention intervention is "20% for the first 10 seconds" at 6:15 no idea why I said this but I meant 20% for the first 4 seconds... on top of that its worth mentioning that the buff from rampart and sentinel do not stack for the intervention, so using both isn't going to make it 40%. For a more detailed breakdown of how to recover our Rotation and a quick mock up of Dungeon AoEing, check this video out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXl8xM-rj67IYdI.html&ab_channel=AzuriteRPG

Great stuff! I do have a couple of suggestions. 1) You mentioned that Clemency “benefits” from Req. You might want to note that it does *not* get an increase in the potency, especially since it *did* in previous expacs. Just the instant cast effect. 2) A couple of things regarding popping Divine Veil. You mentioned, correctly, that you can pop it with Holy Spirit. However the way you said it implied you needed to use a Req’d Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit heals you whether you’re in Req or not, so it’s not necessary to be in req. You may also want to mention that Holy Circle also pops it. In dungeon trash packs, it’s handy to use veil and pop it yourself if the DPS/healer eats an AoE. Almost all trash wipes I see are from the healer getting behind when they have to heal someone other than the tank, and tossing that heal/shield out can often provide the protection necessary to ensure the healer doesn’t need to split their attention. 3) You should definitely consider leading with the Req combo in big trash pulls. On six targets, as an example, the Req combo does *double* the potency per GCD as the FoF Total Eclipse/Prominence combo. A not inconsequential portion of that damage is the DoT that gets applied to all the targets by Blade of Valor. If you wait until FoF is done before using the Req combo, a lot of times the trash will be dead before that DoT gets applied (ie. 9th GCD vs 20th). This can definitely end up screwing up the timing of your buffs when it comes to the single target bosses, but delaying FoF so that you can realign it during the boss is definitely a net positive in over all potency if you get to make sure you’re potency on the trash mobs is optimized. In addition, when dealing with dungeons and trash mobs, unReq’d HC spam is only 5 potency less per target, on average, to unbuffed TE/P and only ~40ish less that FoF’d TE/P. In exchange, you get a 400 potency heal, *every GCD.* This can be a pretty noticeable amount of extra healing. Swapping to unReq’d HC can definitely ease the burden on a healer who might be struggling for whatever reason. Or, if you’re coordinating with your healer in VoiceChat or something, it could let them continue to DPS while you take a much milder loss to DPS than them needing to cast a GCD heal. All of this is optimization on casual content though, so that that with a grain of salt. 5) I’d recommend putting both Expiacion and Circle of Scorn on the same weave in the opener on single target, and just in general. Now that they’re both 30s CDs, you can just muscle memory them together. And if you’re doing the 61s rotation, as you’re suggesting, you’ll end up using them both at the same time in your rotation each time, which enhances the muscle memory nature of it. This helped me a bit, since the change in CoS’s CD screwed up some of my muscle memory and realigning them together made it easier for me to adjust.

That being said, the difference on un-req’d spells is only 10 potency, so it’s not that big of a loss if you HC two targets outside of req. Though the only time you’d be using unreq’d Holy Spirit is a long disengage and the only time you’d be using unreq’d HC is if your healer needs some help in big dungeon pulls and the mobs aren’t dead after Req and FoF.

I love paladin and learned a few new things from this video. Thank you for sharing! As a SCH healer main, I would add that tanks shouldn't be afraid to use stuns to help mitigate damage during trash mobs that are proving to be hard hitting/debuffers, particularly if you can use Shield bash and Low blow to take out two enemies for a few seconds. As WHM, it's less of an issue due to Holy.

I totally agree! Like I said if things get a bit hairy and you need the stuns as a last resort for mitigation then go ahead, but really only as a last resort because by throwing in a shield bash that's one less aoe from the PLD which means the mobs will die slower meaning more damage to the Paladin! Which is why I advice just to stick to low blow unless really necessary to shield bash :)

A quick little trick that can help on tight deeps checks: Requiescat's buff lasts 30secs, but the skill itself is melee-only. Meanwhile, Holy Spirit and the entire Confiteor combo is 25y ranged, while lasting 12secs or something (and also, the entire post-Confiteor Blade combo doesn't need the Requiescat buff to cast, so as long as you cast Confiteor during the buff, you're golden). So, if you know there's a ranged-probable phase sometime in the fight, you *can* activate Requiescat during a oGCD lull to set the buff up (typically during the FoF window) and when you're forced in ranged, you got 12 seconds where you can do your Holy Light -> Confiteor combo and lessen or outright negate the range phase damage loss. It's not a "spur of the moment" thing, but it can help when you're getting the hang of the fight and want to push the extra sliver of dps to beat enrage or just finish before an annoying mechanic starts.

@DarkDyllon

honestly, most of this is irrelevant information. Requiescat is magical damage (when it damages it applies as magical damage, you can easily check this if you got FF14 quick launcher and get an plugin that'll tell you the damage types, either physical, magical or void, void being not able to get mitigated) the Requiescat buff now applies regardless of the MP you have (previously i needed an certain %, forgot howmuch but was more than when you get rez'd, not it applies regardless) Requiscat always gives you 5 magic hits on it (doesn't trigger on physicals, so your GCD combo can still be used as it doesn't consume an stack) you'll generally use 4 holy spirits (atleast if it isn't an dungeon ofcourse) and 1 confiteor, here is where your information is irrelevant honestly. casting confiteor will ALWAYS remove requiescat, always. you got 5 stacks of requiescat left? 1 confiteor and it's gone. using confiteor (which can only be used by having the Requiescat buff) will ALWAYS trigger the confiteor combo, the confiteor combo is also magical, but obviously can't be buffed by requiescat as the timer will always be longer than being able to keep the confiteor combo. using any other GCD before finishing the confiteor combo will remove the confiteor combo as it works on the regular GCD combo timer (which is 30 seconds in endwalker) You can however pop requiescat earlier (like this video explains) and use it's stacks after applying the Goring Blade DoT.

This is very true, at the end of the day its personal preference. I actually like a tiny bit of DH on my WAR just so some of my filler attacks have a chance to actually Direct Hit, this might not be THE way to go, but I like it and its still too early in the expansion to really know what is BEST, except Crit

So I just popped level 90, and I thought I should take a look at a more optimized rotation guide in hopes of getting better at the class. I don't have Goring Blade on the hotbar. I just completely forgot about it for over 30 levels. I also was thinking that the class seems like it's missing something, and I'm used to keeping up a DoT at all times on my other two classes (Scholar and Black Mage) so I guess this is what was missing.

Dropping that third atonement might make the rotation align better but how does it affect overall DPS?

Do you happen to have a keybind setup you've shared?

What is that red elixer you use in the first opener?

Uh I'm a bit confused on double goring combos when what do you mean when you say that you gotta pop it halfway through the GCD and also how do I get both off because every time it's a bit wonky is it because I'm doing the 3rd atonement and that's cutting of the seconds or is there a certain time I'm suppose to be in between Riot blades load I should be going for it? Because sometimes I got blue parses and goring blades perfectly time other then a very small few others it's a noticeable drop. Thank you for your time wonderful vid!

Its mostly so we can keep our FoF timing consistent without delay and lessen the risk of missing out on our party members raid buffs. Also your goring might drop for a dot tick if you do the third atonement which is another factor, as goring/valor dot is really strong and we don't really want to be missing out on ticks of that. So quite a few reasons as you can see!

What I've done for dungeon pulls since Intervene came out is the following: 1) grab the first bunch, 2) hit sprint, 3) intervene to the 2nd group (and another possibly for a 3rd group), 4) either hit hallowed ground, rampart and sentinel, or reprisal and arm's length.

This is nice in a sense, but i'm having trouble relearning that specific part. also the ignoring an atonement stack really ircks me, feels to me if you don't use all your things, it's bad job design, still love the job, just gotta drill it into my muscle memory again. also double weaving while also weaving into defensive CDs makes it a lot more difficult, that's why I kinda despise the dummy trial (that Yoshi-P claims you can handle that trial) but you'll always have to weave in different CDs depending on encounter concidering you got macro delay (fuck macro delay, i use that for either Shirk or Intervention for the 2nd in the party list) or you gotta take an tankbuster and gotta double weave 2 defensive CDs in. i'll get back up there, just kinda having an hard time relearning it, the 8 GCD of complete free movement is godlike though.

The position of fight or flight makes sense but I don't really see the benefit of putting requiscat's timing so early. If you would put it 3 or 4 GCD's later, wouldn't the confiteor combo a bit more 'forgiving' ?

so divine veil only give shield to other party ? no shield for the paladin who pop it ?

Hello, great clear guide, I'm very new to Paladin and tanking in general, may I ask where you came up with the idea to skip and lose one Atonement after the first full rotation? Was that something you decided upon yourself or something others have theory crafted and proven to be a dps increase? I only ask because with 2.41s GCD on ps4 it seems as though I'd only be delaying FoF for the duration of one GCD or less, and with atonement being one of our more hard hitting abilities, losing one atonement and overwriting the confiteor combo dot 4 seconds early with the melee dot, it seems hard to picture this as a dps gain but I'm far too inexperienced to know for sure, could you please respond and tell me whether or not you're 100% sure that losing that stack is a dps increase? Thank you in advance, and a well made clear guide so good job :)

The whole idea is to line up your buffs with raid buffs. The game is currently designed in a way that all raid buffs are coming out every 60 or 120 seconds. By delaying your FoF by 1 GCD you're effectively misaligning your buffs with raid buffs over the duration of a longer fight. So it might look odd but is a DPS gain on the long run to skip one attonement for better line up.

Yup, what Lumin said pretty much! We don't want to delay that FoF any longer then we have to or potentially drop the Goring Blade dot either, you have a lot of SkS but it won't always be that way when new gear comes out and the last thing you want to do is build bad habits. And yes, this has all been theory crafted over on the Balance discord, go check them out in the description if you would like. I've done my own research but it was a lot of going back and forth with what the people in the Balance crafted up and I just decided that it was infinitely better then what I could come up with :)

Might be worth adding that this is based on 8-player content. When you're alone or in a 4-player dungeon going for that third Attonement should be an overall dps increase depending on the party composition unless you're missing out on a FoF but I wouldn't stress out too much in those situations.

@@LuminNox which you will if you delay that FoF by 1 GCD, we need to look at the bigger picture, atonement is a heavy hitter but does it make up for 1 GCD delay of FoF? Even in dungeons bosses this is going to add up, you cannot use FoF until after Savage Blade, if you use it before you will miss the last GCD of FoF being a Goring Blade which is a pretty big DPS loss because straight after that last Goring we will be doing our Holy Spirit combo into confiteor, so we cannot amend that dot until we get to Blade of Valor, which means we will have an unbuffed Goring throughout our whole Holy Spirit combo, which is quite a big loss of DPS. I'll do some more digging when I get home but pretty sure raid or not, it's a loss to do 3 unbuffed atonements and I think I've provided a clear enough insight to why

Not a silly question don't worry! I think it's a multitude of things, if you're new to MMOs in general that it can be off putting, but in time you will get use to it. Muscle memory also plays a huge part of it and also HUD layout can go a long way! Having all your information being in the same place along with being able to look at the screen goes a long way, if you have 10 or so mins, I can recommend you one of my latest videos that actually covers HUD layout and maybe that could help you a bit :)

​@@AzuriteTV How on earth did you manage to make the combat look so smooth and cinematic in your video up to minute 12:00? I find that, with FF14 catering to console controllers the combat is probably likely to have major limitations, and slowness in certain areas (certainly not in rattling off chain combos if you are experienced and practiced). However I feel the game's combat could be so much more intuitive and fluid with some combination of free-targeting and vector-targeting. If you've played Lost Ark you would realize that LA is a ripoff of FF14 in a Korean Diablo 3 clone, even down to the story premise. However LA saving grace is its combat which is the best in the genre. One would hope that SE would redo the combat system while keeping the best elements of tab-targeting and comboing, while introducing model collision, and perhaps trimming the GCD to make combat more organic to in what it feels and looks like. There will always be die-hard fans of FF14's combat system, and those who would want to preserve it as a niche, but there is a massive consensus that FF14 combat is slow, and by my own limited experience quite stogy. With certain changes we can free up the mouse cursor for skill shots. Skill shots and dodging are linked to player skill expression and through honed hand-eye coordination allows players to distinguish themselves and is also why League of Legends triumphs over Dota (which is more point-and-click). This is tremendously popular in Korea and many game from Korea emphasize this fast, flowing, intuitive combat in which skill shots and dodging are the staple. Could we ever see a FFMMO with this modified combat system? I find this is my main gripe in FF14, as PvP doesnt seem as satisfying due to this issue and that you are unable to fine-tune builds with say Runes, Tripods, Skill points, whatever you want to call it, and you cannot 1v5 carry your team as such, even if we disregard the Tank-Healer-DPS trinity for a minute.

A tip to note, maybe you talk about this i am half way throught the guide , is you can use requiescat every wall to wall pull in dungeons and it will be up everytime. im currently pulling around 12kish on packs and since it adds some nice self sustain with the healing from holy shelltron and holy magic you are freeing the healer from having to heal you too much.

No. Watch 12:09 carefully, we pop FoF after Savage Blade so we can get the Goring Blade dot under FoF but also so our last GCD in FoF will be another Goring. Of course if you did this before Goring Blade you would still get that last Goring Blade dot off but your FoF would end after a Riot Blade... with Req up, so a really awkward place for it to end because we want to end FoF in a combo finisher (Goring Blade) and start our Holy Spirit combo straight after

When I made this video I didn't have clear evidence of how good the stats were against each other. Now more solid research is it, the difference between the stats isn't that big, with DH having a slight advantage BUT if you plan to play WAR that DH is kinda bad in comparison to det, so if your min/maxing for every other tank except WAR, go DH but if you have plans to play WAR I would go Det. Hope this helps! :)

Tbh because of the dropping of that additional atonement I wish they’d increase the time for FoF for like another GCD/make it line up. Would feel a lot more natural. Like you definitely learn to drop it but it would feel better to NOT have to drop it. Good guide though.

Yeah definitely feels weird and unnatural I do have to agree there, like going against your own kit is kinda odd but it is what it is I guess

I like how comprehensively structured this video is, going from basic understanding of the job's various skills, to the intricacies of the damage rotation. Each section is well thought out, and easy to follow. However, one major feature missing that--I think--would greatly improve this guide is a section with example uses of the Paladin's toolkits in group play. As it stands, the latter part of the video is focused only on damage dealing, which isn't really the job's main feature. Divine Veil is clunky, so when's some good opportunities to use it? Divine Intervention is great for off-tanking, but are there interesting tips and tricks you can do in specific situations? Cover is a super niche ability with very little practical use cases, so why not spur your viewer's creativity by providing an example? Should I ever spend Requiescat charges on Clemency, or is my sole focus as a Paladin simply damage output? The job offers so many more options that just mashing damage buttons. Anywho, that's me nitpicking. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to more guides from you!

This is why I state unless necessary, which in most cases it isn't, the stars aligning is an overexgeration, we can actually plan to use veil with req up and still shield everyone in most cases once we learn a fight, as veil last 30 seconds. But really if you mess up but don't need veil then why break your back and your rotation putting it up, you might literally just be saving seconds of everyone not being topped up by regens, which isn't an urgent need, it's not going to force the healers to heal more. This is why I say unless necessary, if you can clutch up with a veil like you have a healer dead or missing people for a stack then absolutely break your combo and get that up, but otherwise why bother
