Never have to worry about that when you main Warrior and the dev team remains committed to making Warrior low effort, high reward.

I know it's just accepted at this point, but I still really cannot understand why they have stuck with the removal of meaningful weaponskill combos. The fact that you can do 1-2-abcxyzlgbtbbq-3 is completely fucking stupid. Not overcapping red juice was an extremely minor optimization issue that warriors could once strive to improve, but now it's basically impossible to overcap unless you're retarded and hit infuriate at 60+.
It's wild how it removed so much depth both from more-complicated jobs and it removed just-about the only depth that several jobs had had left during SHB. I still cannot believe that people prefer PLD post-rework despite the fact that half of its kit is just shit you hit because-because which doesn't meaningfully interact with your rotation in any way. I cannot get over how this job-design team has something that works beautifully - PLD swapping between Phys-Mag every minute with about 20s filler and plenty of room to make minor mistakes you could optimize out... and then scraps it for awkward, clunky shit and doubles down on it. It's fucking impossible to play this job incorrectly now.
The whole reason BLM now has instant despair is because whatever retard made paradox instant-cast didn't realize that it shortens your second astral-fire phase by a whole GCD. But... why did paradox-fire need to be instant, exactly? Who knows! Who wanted that? Nobody!
I think it's supposed to be a metal gear revengeance meme, but it's too distanced from the actual content for that to be apparant.

PLD has been brain dead since at least ShB, I only started raiding that expac so it could have been braindead before that as well, I just wouldn't know. The filler was literally just do your 1-2-3 until FoF comes back.

Timing FoF based on your ping to fit 2 goring blades into the rotation is something you could fuck up. If you failed to fill your blue bar before Req you'd get fucked, if you hit Confiteor before all 4 Holy Spirits you fucked up. These are minor things that really wouldn't happen outside of your first few attempts at a given encounter if you were unfamiliar with the encounter, but... how do you even go about screwing up modern paladin?
Like, yeah, you can hold onto the 2 of your Atonement combo to replace Atonement itself with a boosted Holy Spirit in the FoF window. What else is there? You can drift HS if you know there's a brief movement period?
Your filler phase is now 30s of 123-AAA4 instead of 25s of 123-AAA. But even that's not really true, since the second-half of your FoF window is the AAA4 instead of another 1-2-Goring. So it's more like 45s of filler, given there's 5 non-filler inputs in the burst.
Meaning in terms of not-filler:
1-2-3-C-B-B-B-G-A-A-A-H-filler
1-2-G-1-2-3-A-A-A-1-2-G-H-H-H-H-C-filler (technically, you also refresh Goring at some point)
The longer one isn't harder than the first one by much, but there's more avenues to fuck it up. There's more minor optimizations for people new to the job to pick up on. If we're speaking frankly about higher levels of play, nothing in the game is particularly hard if you spend a little bit on a training dummy.

yeah, blood weapon and delirium got consolidated into the same skill and you only get 3 blood weapon ticks (the amount of MP that each stack grants has not been increased to match), but it's fine because now Living Shadow doesn't cost any Blood Gauge, Carve and Spit recovers a miniscule amount of HP, and Shadow Wall regains HP too right!

I got the first one but never bothered picking up the second one since I found scans for that online.
I want Mecha Godzilla, but the last time a couple friends and I tried farming Primals for it, we got up to Hades before everyone went retarded, we had one "gamer couple" together where one of the people involved just AFK'd every run while their partner made excuses for them, had some people drop out, impatient retards dropped in who wiped an unsynched 8-man and bailed after wiping the raid, then turned around and opened their own Hades EX farm, and really just a whole lot of shit of people not understanding that you still kind of have to do SOME mechanics even unsynched, even after multiple successful clears.
It also doesn't help that Hades is so goddamned tedious to farm because of MANDATORY GAMEPLAY CUTSCENES that take forfuckingever.

Come grab popcorn and watch with me, pretty please? I want to cash in my girl points.

What patch was this in? Nowadays you skip Ascian Prime's mechanics (Hades, you did back in 6.2 if you were geared enough), Limit Break 4 (WOL, yes i'm serious you can do this with a team of 7 dpses and a healer), The adds getting to do anything (Ruby Weapon), Balls and Adds Phase (Emerald Weapon, there's more lenience on adds phase than there is for skipping the balls), and Diamond Weapon is literally just a punching bag at this point, you don't even die as a (melee) DPS if you forget to move.

Literally last patch. I'm not sure why you're bringing up WoL and the other fights when I'm talking specifically about Hades – hell, I already have WoL completely farmed out and I did that on my own. Where these retards were struggling was the add phase JUST before Ascian Prime. They kept killing themselves and each other (particularly our one healer was specifically prone to eating shit) on the tethers during comets, and the retards would attempt to soak comets after eating a tether as well instead of just focusing their fucking DPS like they were repeatedly told to do.
