Warrior potency

How? You really need to quantify this statement, because PLD has two raid mitigation abilities to the other tanks' one, a spammable targeted heal, and Cover (lol). I won't mention the nuances of Intervention, since each tank has a counterpart ability with its own nuances that make it better or worse than the others in certain situations.



Yes it is. Only bad players who are only able to fixate on the ideal run make claims like this. Now, I wouldn't say Clemency is even good, but it's far from "not usable."

I think my opinion on PLD's utility is more or less, too situational having 2 party wides (3 really on pld as other tanks also get 2 with the role action "reprisal") is good? But generally nothing to write home about considering Divine veil is a bit clunky requiring a GCD heal to even activate, it also doesn't effect you for no reason, Passage is good but only when it lines up (Yes you can flash it but people have to be directly behind you so its way more annoying then any other tank cd), Cover is a complete Joke, Clemency is fine as it is personally but clemency in it's current state doesn't really need to "tax" PLD on anything like GNBs Aurora, Oblation on drk or equilibrium on war, as all of those abilities have more general use then clemency? (I don't really know if they compare but PLD lacks two general mits), Another thing is PLD's strong self healing is restricted to your rotation instead of something you can control, Also with intervention it's just worse holy shelltron while other tanks get the same or a better effect from using it on yourself.

I generally agree clemency isn't useless, it's great in situations it's even helped me before get further in ext fights and learn more mechs faster, even then I don't think it hurts PLD to keep it for solo content and such.

My main gripe with the Idea of pld being "utility tank" is the fact that some of it's utility is very outdated or super situational, with its raid wides i just want general touch ups to make them less janky I get that some of those points don't effect PLD at the highest level, but I generally want those sorts of abilities to be touched up, cover to be reworked. ECT.
