Paladins should use Hallowed Ground more often in dungeons

Absolutely no. What? Clemency? Are you out of your mind? No. Just no.

If you're not capable of healing a dungeon, don't heal. You're telling me to miss out on over 350 potency per holy circle and over 1200 potency from Confiteor because some piece of human garbage healer can't use their bloated super stuffed healing kit to keep me alive in an expert roulette? Gtfo lol no.

We have plenty of cooldowns to use. SHIELD BASH? That's on the GCD, and breaks combos. Nope.

Arm's Length, Reprisal, two charges of sheltron, rampart and sentinel...we have plenty with native block chance as well.

^ Meh. I disagree with this guy. I use Clemency and Hallowed Ground whenever I want to as long as I ensure it's available when I need it most. "Blah blah blah but what about mah deeps, the dungeon will take forever blah blah blah."

This is a perfect example of the difference between people who get their panties in a bunch if a dungeon run takes 60 seconds longer than they wanted, and people who really just don't care if a dungeon run takes a little longer.

No only the hallowed ground is for healer to do more dps. The clemency + shield bashing is only if you know for sure you are overpulling and don't think healer can handle it. I guess this isn't relevant for endgame so arguably my post is kind of pointless (I wanted to delete it shortly after I created it but found out you can't lol so I'm stuck with this embarrassment).

I'm currently leveling PLD and am at lvl 69 and I can show you a vid in which I'm pretty sure I saved myself with clemency + shieldbashing at lvl 68 (both me and healer were undergeared) and me dying there would likely have resulted in wipe. I wasn't supposed to pull that big in the first place cause it was obvious we couldn't handle it, but still did and made it with HG + clemency + shieldbashing. Let me know if you want to see the vid, cause I think it shows that this strategy was the best way to handle that situation, although I'm still not entirely sure (maybe my dps was better to kill mobs faster) but am convinced I would have died if I didn't.
