PLDs: You have Clemency for a reason.

[Fluffernuff]

your patronizing is noted. however, you either dont even understand what you quoted, or stopped 3 words in. Your ire is misguided.

to save us both from having to deal with another novella, I'm simply going to say this;


ESTABLISHING initial aggro is far different than generating it once you have it. I was referring to the former.


Not every solution is best solved by running a boss to one corner and then the other, using AoE on single target. and sometimes MP is worth saving 3 GCDs.

even in the singular and extremely rare scenario I bring up, Clemency should be used ONCE, *AT ALL* simply to turn those grey circles into red squares on multiple targets out of your eclipse range. using a single GCD instead of several for shield lobs.

Youre going to be "wasting" or "losing DPS" regardless, so why would you chose the one that takes the longest to recover from? I for one like to not move and continue having single target uptime on the boss. it's not like mobs instantly warp to you.
and since these situations *only* exist in dungeons- ethers exist, so the MP cost isnt even a huge DPS loss. not any worse than using 2-3 shield lobs are.


obviously single mobs should be picked up with shield lob/provoke. obviously if mobs are already/spawn in melee range, you should eclipse combo. That isnt what I was talking about.
