    Also, I've got almost all jobs nearing lvl 70 and have been playing since 2.2 so it's not like I'm new.
    There's a stark difference between play in levelling duties vs at the end game and the contrast only gets more severe the higher end you go.

    Sure, does it have any effect on the topic of this thread though?

    Highly doubt those people that are excessively using Vercure and Clemency at lower levels will stop doing that at higher levels, in fact, you'd expect that they'd use it even more with how incoming damage increases.

    Absolutely it does, because you're making big suggestions without understanding the big picture.

    The irony is that incoming damage actually decreases relatively, especially once you hit expert and get some gear. It's so easy and quick to outgear most casual content that it quickly falls into face roll territory. Leveling dungeons are frequently comparatively rough because you can't steamroll them with way more gear than was intended. Thus why you tend to see people being more skittish or cautious in levelling content vs expert through 24 man.

    In that case I have already experienced similar endgame content when both Clemency and Vercure were in the game (I'm a returner and was at endgame in Stormblood) so I have experienced similar content in terms of circumstances you'd use those 2 abilities.

    Although I have to admit I don't really remember either Clemency or Vercure being used very often at Stormblood endgame so you might be right with your point.

    Yeah. Bardam's mettle for example, I'm not 'against' pulling big if the party can handle it, but I'm less gung ho about doing it out the gate, especially if I'm leveling a tank job that doesn't outgear it yet or the healer doesn't outlevel/gear it yet.
