Paladin Job Changes and Updates — DawnTrail 7.0

The media tour tooltips give a more complete picture of level 100 Paladin. Here is a summary of the new upgrades and unlocks:

• Atonement now has two follow-up actions: Supplication and Sepulcher, which replace the second and third Atonements
• Level 92: Sentinel Mastery — Sentinel upgraded to Guardian, which gives 40% damage reduction (increased from 30%) as well as a 1000 potency shield.
• Level 94: Enhanced Rampart — Rampart also grants a 15% increase to incoming healing for the duration. This increase is applied to both the Paladin's healing actions (i.e. Clemency) as well as those from allies.
• Level 94: Melee Mastery II — Slight potency increases to most damaging GCDs
• Level 96: Requiescat Mastery — Requiescat upgraded to Imperator, becoming ranged, higher damage, and AoE.
• Level 98: Enhanced Reprisal — Reprisal duration increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds.
• Level 100: Enhanced Blade of Valor — Blade of Valor now has a follow-up action, Blade of Honor, a hard-hitting AoE off-global ability.

Listed below is a showcase from the Job Actions Trailer featuring a collection of battle actions for Paladin.

Additionally, the following information was also revealed in the Producer Live Part 81:

• The second and third executions of Atonement have been changed to new actions with separate animations (Atonement will change to these actions, so input execution will remain the same).
• A new action that can be executed after Blade of Valor will be added.

At the start of Endwalker, the basic Paladin rotation stayed basically the same, with a powerful follow-up to Confiteor, the Blade of Valor combo, being added to replace the unbuffed Goring Blade combo.

In Patch 6.3, we saw a huge rework to the job, streamlining the burst window and removing the complexity of DoT management.
