Clemency

While running my EX roulette today and swapping back and forth from dps accessories and fending accessories I noticed an interesting side effect. In full turtle mode my clemency is 3.4K to 3.5K. In dps mode my clemency jumped 3.9K to 4K. Has anyone else noticed a massive jump? It would appear clemency is tied to str as opposed to mnd. Still very situational ability but maybe stacking more str if you're offtanking as PLD might be more viable?

It is Physical Damage based just like Second Wind.

yep, the difference between full fending and full slaying accessories for me is something like 3400 to 4400 healing on clemency. it scales off Strength.

Though nowadays, most paladins should be 35 strength spec and either wearing pentamelded Str/Vit accs or having a fairly hefty amount of strength accessories whether MTing or OTing, so it's not really a matter of wearing strength gear -because- of Clemency, just that it's yet another reason to forgo pure Vit builds.

Yeah just like Rawrz said it is based on strength, but you can also pop Convalescent to increase the heal farther. It can be a hefy heal with Convalescent, and if Clemency crits.
