Oh for the love of Christ, leave Paladin alone! Clemency is just fine, and Divine Veil is rockin'. WHM is perfectly fine, and to be honest, reading all this I have NO idea what your problem is. Are you afraid people are going to double-up PLD in raids and healers will be put to shame? I swear to you that won't happen, worse thing that could happen in that scenario is they both pop Convalescence at tank-busters with the OT assisting healers with a Clemency that'll heal them for 50% of what they just healed the MT for. Maybe the Ot will also throw on DV for tank busters for a healer to trigger, adding more shields to the MT, and switch it when a tank swap happens.

There is no possible way you can spin Clemency and Divine Veil as this horrible ungodly thing. IT LITERALLY MAKES YOUR JOB EASIER, BOTH OF THEM! Do that and take offense with SMN, they flat-out STOMP on your toes with brez AND healing options.

What are you mad about?
