    Who on earth even uses clemency when playing competitively? xD

    And why should we even consider balancing the game on casual level?

    When i see paladin wasting his combo for clemency as a healer, i want to grab them and throw them into oblivion. I would appreciate the change however, clemency as a oGCD with 2.5 sec cooldown and MP cost, would be a nice thing to have.

    Reminds me when I hear how OP Paladin's tank buster defense is and I throw my hands up as warrior sneaks under the radar with it's low cooldown. Having your anti-tank buster ready for pretty much every tank buster, not a bad deal lol. But because Paladin's just looks cool due to the full life aspect it usually gets targeted for being too good even though it's got the longest cooldown. Yoshida even was asked about nerfing it before as one of the questions to him. .

    I really enjoy using Clemency when the healer is down or is having to hard cast raise someone and I can see their health is in significant jeopardy of dying themselves (and there isn't a cohealer) but in every situation where things are going according to plan you shouldn't be using it (obviously we agree), so it feels a bit like "no leave it alone- or maybe even buff it, it's neat but you're overselling how amazing it is because ideally/optimally you're not even supposed to use it" XD.

    I've saved numerous dungeon runs when the healer derps and dies and we don't have a SMN or RDM to get them back up. End up tanking AND healing everyone else.

    And you balance for casual play because that's where 85% of the FFXIV playerbase is. You don't make every decision based off casual play but to ignore it is a very bad idea.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
