Endwalker 6.3+ PLD Resources

Intro & Rotation Guide

Paladin received a major rework in Patch 6.3 on 10 Jan 2023. Please stay tuned for updates. This page is being updated whenever new information is determined. See changelog for a detailed list.

The v2 6.3 rotation is available with more information on this main rotation and the alternative loop (60s and 120s) rotations in the Intro & Rotations page.

The old Resources pre-6.3 can be found at the PLD Resource Archive, including fight guides for p5s-p8s and DSR.

Main 6.3 PLD Rotation

Alternative loop rotations

These rotations drop Atonements or hardcast Holy Spirits to maintain a 1- or 2-minute loop. These are harder to learn and adjust, and there is practically 0 difference in DPS performance. It is highly recommended to use the main 6.3 PLD Rotation instead of these loop rotations. These are included here for archiving/informational purposes.

60s Rotation

  • During filler, use Circle of Scorn and Expiacion on cooldown
  • Execute the top line once (this is your opener and first minute's filler), then repeat the second line until the fight ends
  • Filler GCDs can be rearranged as desired
  • Drop any 1 Atonement during the first minute's filler, and any 2 Atonements during future filler phases
    • If playing faster than 2.5, instead drop 0 Atonements in the first minute and 1 Atonement in future fillers

120s Rotation

  • During filler, use Circle of Scorn and Expiacion on cooldown
  • Execute the top line once (this is your opener and first minute's filler), then the second line, third line, second line, third line, and so on
  • Filler GCDs can be rearranged as desired
  • Filler Holy Spirits:
    • During the first minute's filler phase, hardcast 3 filler Holy Spirits
    • During the filler phase after odd minute bursts, hardcast 1 filler Holy Spirit
    • During the filler phase after even minute bursts (when raid buffs typically go out), hardcast 2 filler Holy Spirits
    • The placement of filler Holy Spirits is flexible, use them after Fight or Flight and before the last filler Royal Authority
