Requiescat gives a buff when used at >80% MP. That buff doesn't fall off when you go below 80% MP. All 5 Holy Spirits/Clemencies get buffed by it.

If Flash's blind effect is in full duration, it's actually semi decent to use clemency as a mini aoe threat move, in place of eclipse, if your low on TP or needing to get TP back, but dont want to use another flash. so technically clemency is more effecive at threat/healing, unless they have the TP to use single target instead, which they should single target.
The exception being the healer doesnt mind DPSing while u try to solo heal yourself for 3 GCDs.

And, amazingly enough, if you don't have confidence in your healer, healing yourself is not going to fix the problem. My healing cooldowns are there for a reason. You wasting a GCD healing yourself for a tankbuster, I've been prepared for for the past 45 seconds is not clearing content faster.

Nor is you killing the DRK during Akh Morn because you wanting to help heal wasted his Walking Dead. (Note: this happened. My friend on DRK was less than pleased.)

so i guess clemency should just never be used unless the party is about to wipe, right?

Clemency can save you from dying and helps out your healers.

Dear WHMs, ASTs, SCHs,

Would you please STOP SPAMMING DPS ABILITIES ALLOWING US TO DIE EVERY OTHER PULL? Especially when you (or any party member) have less than 75% of your HP.

Thank you.

Your Paladin.

(Yes, I actually have this problem with healers. Stop it. If you want to DPS so much, make/play a DPS and queue.)

You can use Clemency outside of wipe situations while also using it intelligently. You don't need to spam it on yourself unless your healer(s) is obviously struggling. You don't need to heal other party members. Use your head. And for christ sakes being below 75% does not mean you need to be topped off. HOTs are a thing. Eos/Selene is a thing. Let them serve their purpose.

I am signing it too with my both hands.
Too many healers is trying to be DPS, but forget to heal us and end up killing us.
Where are those so "OP" heals i hear about in that game so often?

Just heal me, none gives a damn about your dot 500 damage, i want to pull more in order to make it faster.

Why is this bad. So many healers are forced into DPSing.. A heal from the tank allows them to do more DPS...

No one is forcing them to do anything but their role they signed up for when they joined the duty finder. If they are doing anything above and beyond, fine, but stop sacrificing your primary role in the group.
