Paladin Adjustments (3.?)

[Naelle]

A.) Hard to do 3s cast when you are interrupted. Every. Single. Time. due to boss autoattacks

B.) By the time your heal lands after 3s your target has probably been healed anyways.

Stoneskin is usually a better use of time as it will always help as opposed to Clemency, which is subject to fight conditions.

A.) I've yet to have my clemency interrupted a single time. Maybe I'm lucky or special.

B.) If you're precasting this won't happen. You're not meant to use this spell every time someone takes damage

You've never been interrupted casting Clemency? Not even in A1S with the 2.5k AA, 6k tank cleave, a Prey mechanic with 3-5k x3, and a 25k tank buster all happening within a 5s period?

Never? Because that's some special kind of luck. Pre-casting is great and all but I take issue with it because it assumes that there is no incoming healing coinciding with your use of Clemency and thus can only be effectively used in a lull - where it's viable use is essentially against fluff damage.

I was relating my experience in Savage. For a direct example i found it more effective to stoneskin->rampart->stoneskin the two prey targets during A1S as the prey is being cast, however using clemency there isn't as helpful as the targets are usually near full hp and the healers are focusing them anyways.

Also, In Savage the boss auto attacks are around 2-3k so you get interrupted a lot.

Clemency does have its place, but it would be much more useful if the cast time was just a little shorter to make it easier to weave between autoattacks.

For example, A4N when tanks are picking up orbs it shines, but i can't speak for savage in that.
