The longer I stay in the post, the more unbelievable this becomes. I hope SE sees this. They gave PLD top tier damage, best utility, best mitigation, and the best standard single target heal…and you’re still complaining. Then when someone comes along with a tank theme post, you rush in with your torches.

“I lose SOME of my top tier damage numbers if I use this fight saving UTILITY” is an asinine complaint. You’re literally complaining about your job having an identity. Magic master of all trades, utility tank.

Clemency is like having a shotgun. It’s not as practical as carrying a handgun, but you know what. You point that thing at someone and I bet they give up that fight immediately. Using Clemency is no different then deciding to break your rotation to Cover your healer or self pop DV to mitigate a party buster, because a healer/s were down. ITS UTILITY.

I can’t count how many times I’ve clutched content using Clemency where EVERY OTHER TANK WOULD FAIL (this is were the “god” moniker comes from). Healer drops, boss at 5%, only two dps left alive…as PLD, I force the clear. Ex,savage, and dungeons. If you haven’t experienced this, you need to reevaluate your play style.
