Paladin balance changes suggestions

[AbremSev]

You should look at Clemency the same way you look at a raise-skill for healers, RDMs and summoners: Its there to be used when stuff goes wrong, not on a regular basis.
The fact that we have Holy Spirit to spend mana on to deal damage is a very, very clear nodge that Clemency is not to be used regularly, but situational (healer is dead, healer is overwhelmed, healer is not paying attention and someone is about to die, healer is not paying attention but divine veil needs to be triggered...)

You wouldnt argue that a healer should let party memebers die, just because they have rescuret - and why would they have it and be able to cast it all the time if the devs didnt intend for them to use it, right?

See that argument would hold water if Clemency couldn't be used to accomplish both, it's not a one or other thing like raise. If you were to compare the mana dump of holy spirit to another job's abilities the better comparison would be SCH's energy drain. Just because a Scholar can dump all their stacks into energy drain doesn't mean they should, or that the rest of their healing kit isn't supposed to be used. The two things aren't mutually exclusive in this case. Also consider why Paladin is the last pick for MT in any high end content scenario. It's because they're just so much weaker than the other tanks nobody ever wants them to MT. Now consider that Clemency exists.
