Yes because that's what he's really mad at. He's lying to make his unreasonable belief sound better.

And no Clemency should not be culled because it's a decent bit of utility and is important to the entire flavor of the Paladin class.

buddy, as the resident poster child of picking hills to die on, this ain't one of em.

not even whether clemency itself is good. insisting the other guy is just lying and he's really mad at your weirdo headcanon is the bad hill to die on.

If healers only get 1 damage spell each after the next patch, why should tanks have tanking spells, damage spells and healing spells!







I was really getting back into the game and getting hype for the expansion until I looked up the class changes. I main SCH. :cry:

It's ahealing spell PLDs get. a Bad PLD will start spamming it when the get below 80% HP instaed of just doing damage and letting the healer heal.

It's got a bit of a bad wrap cause pubby plds see they're given a heal spell and just thing "OH I must be meant to top myself off" meanwhile they've got like 5 stacks of regen and a bole on them while standing in earthly star while everyone else is just wailing on the boss and they're hard casting a heal onthemselves at 95% HP. Which is extra annoying cause PLDs entire DPS rotation is about dumping all their mana in a burst window.

It's 'useful' in the same way Vercure/SMN Cure is (Not really in 99% of instances) and if they want to do the "Cecil got some lovely White magic as a pld" class fantasy poo poo they should give PLD their oown versions of protect and shell.

"We do feel that it's going to be very much in line with a Nier game and it'll bring out Yoko-san's sort of tastes very well. As well as the battle mechanics, I think it leans more towards Nier's gameplay rather than FFXIV's battle mechanics. He is writing the text and scenario script, and provided us with ideas for the boss design. And once we do come up with the visual sketches, he would review and check each piece that we bring to him."

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
I use Clemency to pop my own divine veil when the healers decide they're not going to.

I also use Clemency to heal a boss when the healer dies in the first 30 seconds of it for standing in two bads in a row.

Finally, I like to throw it out during raids to try and touch up some people that almost died from something and the healer's are a bit busy/low on mana.

It's handy.

Divine Veil is kinda awkward for SCH because most of our heals, well, aren't magic, and generally we're not gonna be casting any healing spells unless something has gone horribly wrong or there's a specific mechanic that needs to be shielded. The Ability/Spell dichotomy strikes again!

what i mean is i know nier games are bullet hell as gently caress, and we got some bullet hell in byakko and it's terrible, so if their nier raids are going to just copy/paste the general byakko bullets then i'm going to hate them

I don't think anyone is saying having a self-healing option is bad, and I don't think anyone is saying Clemency is bad

what people are saying is that unless it's an emergency it shouldn't be used because paladins need that MP for their damage

If your healer is alive and hitting buttons there's no reason you should be wasting time and resources on doing their job

the problem with clemency is that it's a button that either means "this tank sucks," or "this healer sucks," depending on when it is pressed. So it infringes on the class role of healers, who are used to being the only people who get to have a Rescue-level troll button.

on that note do healers still have rescue

because triggering people by rescuing them into the donut hole of suzaku is one of the few times i feel true joy
