    Er, but it's free? It might be minor, but what else are you going to use that gauge on?

    And as pointed out, the MP it generates isn't useless. If you use Sheltron, that means you'll have enough MP to Flash at the next pack even if you do 5x HS at the very end of the pull. Two Sheltron and you gain a Clemency if your healer wants to DPS.

    the damage you receive outweights by far the measly 9k heal of Clemency
    No.

    I have a 30% block rate and 24% block amount so block only reduces damage by 7%. That's inflated by Bulwark so my natural block rate is probably even lower. Meanwhile, my parry rate is about 5% and not worth much at all.

    I don't know what is up with your Clemency, but mine heals for 12-17k. In order for block to be more valuable than Clemency, you need to be taking 170,000 damage in 1.5 seconds. Even with your weaker Clemency you need to take 130,000 damage in 1.5 seconds. That would be literally impossible to heal through so clearly you're talking out your a$$.

    The only time Clemency is worse than blocking is something like a tank buster that will one-shot you if you are casting, then you need to cancel your cast so you can block.
