Thoughts on PLD changes

[Bright-Flower]

For me PLD has gotten better every expansion.

HW gave it dps combos and some neat utility. SB gave it requiscat/clemency, spell blocking etc. And now SHB gives it a real aoe rotation and a couple more buttons for single target. I'll miss shield swipe but I like our gap closer shield charge.

Of the buttons we lost, shield swipe is the only one I really miss.

I'm leveling up PLD right now but I don't see how Clemecy being added is a good thing. Not in a game where Deeps is the most important thing. Having to cast that means you're bad or the healer is bad right?

I don't understand why using Clemency is a bad thing. There have been situations where it's saved my ass and the party numerous times, especially during the new raids. Like when a large majority of the party has been wiped. I can literally let the healer know to concentrate on rezzing, use cooldowns and just heal myself until we're back on track (in some cases) Requiescat's no cast bar trait really helps with this as well.

And sure, most healers won't have an issue rezzing but it definitely makes it less stressful in my opinion.
