Why does Clemency get interrupted? And why does Sword/Shield Oath reset combo?

I like this thread. People bitch all the time, but no one for as long as I can remember has point blank just asked, "hey, SE, WHY?" We've referenced so many legitimate questions in the forums but very few have actually just flat out been like "hey, I demand an answer. wtf were you thinking?"

Answer us, dammit.

Answer us, dammit.

Could not agree more. SE is clearly aware of the problems facing Pld's, but they have been oddly quiet about it.

I think part of the the reason no one straight up asks is because no one actually expects them to respond. I can't remember the last time I saw a Dev response on the forums. The only thing we really have to go on is that interview with Yoshi-P in which he basically said that Pld is working as they intended which... would be not at all, I guess? I'm not sure I'm understanding their message here. Do they mean to tell us that they intended to remove Pld from the meta...or that they just don't care about that job anymore?

A similar situation faced War back in 2.0. It wasn't until the First Binding Coil of Bahamut almost eliminated that job from the game that they finally bucked up and made some much needed changes... so maybe we should all just stop using Pld so SE takes the hint and does some fixes? Kind of a crappy way to force change, but if it gets their attention I'll suck it up for a while and not touch my precious Pld.

Now you are just stealing my ideas.... lol

Well it's a damn good idea lol. Seriously though, I knew I had read this somewhere before. It is a good suggestion. Tempered Will's absurd CD timer might still be a problem, but at least it's better than nothing.
