Thank you, i was wondering if it was the same person or I remembered wrong.
So either they're butthurt from the replies there or really good at trolling or both.

ive only seen rdm using vercure when nothing is under controll. also if you feel insulted by someone using vercure and clemency i think your the problem.
With the first thread I thought maybe he was just clueless. Combined with this thread I'm convinced he's an elaborate troll or just a narcissist who thinks everyone should stay in their lane. Except for himself of course--he can do whatever he wants in the name of "efficiency".
I honestly think he's trolling at this point and he knows exactly what he's doing. Like, how did he expect this thread to go when he's practically asking to remove a skill from both RDM and PLD that basically makes their class what they are? (i.e. RDM has always been about white and black magic, while PLD has always been about being a knight and healing) Not only that, they're great skills when you need them in a pinch.
It's one thing if healers are having a hard time healing for whatever reason and the RDM and the PLD are helping with healing. It's another when they're using their healing abilities repeatedly out of nowhere when it's clear no one needs healing.
Clemency could perhaps use a nerf; I've seen PLDs solo dungeon bosses for half their HP after the rest of the party dropped. And they have by far the best invulnerability too. That kinda makes me question my role as healer. On the other hand a PLD can't really keep others besides themselves up if the boss has frequent partywide damage, nor is Clemency enough for mass trash pulls.
I don't feel insulted if the PLD uses Clemency though. I play healers very aggressively and don't always keep everyone topped up if I know the boss and its abilities well, so it's understandable that a skittish PLD might prefer to heal themselves every once in a while. It just means I can use an extra GCD on damage. An RDM using Vercure is a bit more questionable since their damaging abilities are better than mine so the trade does not pay off. Still not insulted though.
I still need Clemency to compensate the no-heals from healers. Also it's useful to keep everyone alive when the healer dies.
You also need to understand that a RDM doesn't necessarily use Vercure to heal himself due to lack of heal.
If there is a down time and a boss is about to come back to the field, you can Vercure in advance so you have an instant cast ready for when the boss is back.
