PLD abilities.

A Shield Oath additional effect where when you are attacked you heal for 25% of damage suffered is not overpowered as Dark Knights have Soul Eater, which absorbs 100% damage dealt, where the potency is 260 or 400 with Dark Arts.
My Dark Knight can easily heal itself up. Yet Paladin needs Clemency to heal up, which is probably not practical in battle when you are being attacked so the 25% damage suffered heal would help them be more comparable in terms of capability to the Dark Knight.
Besides, this effect helps the Paladin to be a more defensive tank.

My Dark Knight can heal itself nicely yet the paladin can't as casting spells when being attacked has a risk of failing. This additional effect would help the paladin be an even more defensive tank. Increasing the attack speed is good as it allows for my attacks to be unleashed over time.

1.0 has Aegis Boon where the next block you do will block the entire damage and heals you for the amount of damage dealt. Seeing that we already have sheltron, it is possible to get new abilities like that or something along the lines of reversed bloodbath that instead heals you for the amount of the damage blocked doubling the mitigation each block does.

I think I'm the only one who still prefer PLD

You're insane. PLD are already kings of passive mitigation just because they have block, and a consistent str debuff they can keep up (that stacks with other things).


The blocking will continue to scale, too. Further widening the gap between its passive mitigation compared to the other two.

Eww...

Think I'd rather have the option of firing off multiple heals.

When you need actually need clemency it's too slow and too easily interrupted. It's really an OT spell but even then you healers are faster and better than clemency.

Not really true. Clemency as a MT is not going to save you from the incoming damage like auto attacks, but it serves a good purpose. Sure, there is a chance it can get interrupted, but a good chance it wont too. As a boss is casting a tank buster or any damage predictable enough to time your cast, it can really smooth things out.

Discord/perpetual rays for example, Pop your cd, wait for discord to finish casting then start to clemency yourself. If you get interrupted, it happens, if not, you really help the healers out. I personally find lots to cast as a main tank between clemency and stoneskin. Helps with tp, i don't sit at full mp, and often the healers get a chance to dps more once they realize I'm helping.

Clemency is not meant to be a healing cd, it is meant to let paladins spend their mp on something other than stoneskin since almost every boss is blind immune now.

Finding unnecessary uses for a skill doesn't make it any good. Perpetual ray isn't killing a tank with decent healers, most tanks are doing a4 in their DPS stance full time.

I'm sure there are places you COULD use it, but I haven't seen a place you SHOULD use it. If it can be interrupted your heals can't count on it and must being casting themselves, the same way healers never count on an attack being parried or blocked.

When a guy starts asking for pld buffs you know the thread is a lost cause. Shield oath buff literally made me laugh.

You can turn in your tank card over there because healers must hate you as a main tank. ------>[ ]
