I proceeded to Clemency away, and not just one. I went insta cast requeiscat clemency spam. poof! Full HP in like 5 seconds. AND THEY GOT ANGRY! Saying "I got you, just DPS and let's get this over with." I told them you can just keep using Holy since I can really heal myself during trash. And they said "I'm the healer let me heal!" I said" Would you please then so I don't have to?" He left without saying anything and soon the whole group since healers are harder to find then tanks.

Is this the new style of healing? If it is then I suppose healers should get used to PLD throwing down mass quantities of Clemency for a slight DPS loss overall. What confuses me more is WAR's have nascent flash, and DRK has souleater, and GNB has aurora. Every tank has a heal in some manner, and i'm guessing that nobody is scowling over simple heals like that. PLD is the only tank with a massive direct heal, and we rightly should because we used to have cure 1 if some can remember. Now we have to be looked down on for a skill that is actually super helpful and synergies with requeiscat?

Thoughts?
Until/unless you die, I'd generally trust your healer. Especially, oddly enough, the DPS-happy ones. If they're letting your health drop, it's because every point of HP you have left when Bene hits, for instance, is a point of healing wasted. On the other hand, especially in a wall-to-wall pull, the lack of your dps could cost you your life later, when your CDs have run out and not even the strongest Cure II / Lily spam can keep you alive.
