After the changes to PLD in endwalker, i feel as in PLD as a job, lacks a lot of depth. It has a very simple rotation, without basically any moving parts, aside from divine might. Divine might is unlocked in the 60's and is never expanded upon, making PLD lack any real moving parts to its kit for the next 40 levels. Another thing, PLD generates so much mana, with nearly nothing to spend it on. Requiescat takes 4k mana total, and is used every 1 minute, there is never any fear of mana running out. A suggestion i'd like to make to paladins kit, would be changing requiescat, to take a chunk mana to cast, and remove it's cooldowns, and adjust its potency accordingly. This would make it's mana something to think about during long fights, and actually give the mana gain from Atonement combo, and spirits within/Expiacion worth something. This would allow PLD to play with its mana in a different way form DRK, and keeping PLD's identity as a caster hybrid, and give it some much needed depth, to it's rotation. I'm curious on what other players think about PLD, and if it needs any more depth to it, since for right now, it feels like a shell of a job, even at level 100
