Paladin - some QoL ideas

I don't think I understand what you mean about Divine Veil.

Divine Veil works as a buff on the PLD. While this buff is on the PLD, the ability does nothing at all. It is only when the PLD gets a heal that the people close to the PLD get the barrier, so a healer triggering it before a raidwide blast is actually desirable instead of having to break your rotation with a use of Clemency. Unless you mean something else? It's definitely not random at all, though.

Thanks for explanation, I misunderstood the ability description. There is sentence at the end that HP recovery will remove it - and its not after description of your buff, but after description of Barrier that is on others.

Aah, gotcha. I see how the tool tip could be confusing. Indeed, the effect that ends upon healing received is only the "Divine Veil" buff that you get on yourself, which does nothing. The activation of Divine Veil is actually pretty flexible due to the long duration of the buff on the PLD. You can theoretically pop it as far as 55 seconds before the barrier is actually needed if you're off-tanking. If you get healed as the buff is about to fall off, the barrier will then last for anoter 30 seconds. It's quite handy, really!

And ffs, pop a cd while gathering mobs. It will keep the healer from having to use hots in the first place during large pulls.

Or just pop Sprint right before you're about to gain hate from a single target. The 20 seconds worth of Sprint will make it so you take minimal damage while you're gathering mobs, and thus will free up the use of a CD for when you're actually taking hits to the face! o7

Another good tip is popping Convalescence as you're gathering mobs. A healer who does DPS will use Largesse, put HoTs on you and then go ham, usually as soon as you stop running. If Convalescence is already up by then, the HoT will be stronger and you'll need even less healing!
