Would Clemency by OP as insta cast?

[winsock]

It takes me 8 globals to regain enough MP from nothing to be able to recast Clemency.

Are you stupid? Clemency casts 2121 MP for me to cast.

Oooo name calling. You're so cool.

Here's the thing though. What penalties does PLD take at low to no MP? You shouldn't need flash by the time you're out. You can't switch oaths provided you don't have the MP by the time the oath needs changed. Then there's clemency and stoneskin. At most you're out 2-3 skills that you can't cast when you'd want to, and all of them are situational. And uh oh, a whole 8 cds to be able to use your most expensive skill. Queue the violin.

Now let's talk about WHM. go OOM on a healer and lose pretty much all dps and healing ability because nearly everything costs mp. Assize can restore 10% every 90 seconds, SoS has a 2min cd. There is no comparison here.

Resource management is not identical between classes so you cant compare them with equal weight.
