Equilibrium vs. Clemency

[praysolace]

How much does Clemency actually get interrupted? I remember being interrupted a lot more at low levels of caster classes than at high levels. Is that a pretty major concern? Because that's really the only major drawback I'm seeing.

If its anything like casting Stoneskin it will get interrupted any time you get hit for a high enough amount. When I played Pld in 2.0, I could spam SS in dungeons while taking damage but vs primals (Shiva specifically) I would get interrupted on hit.

It is not nearly as bad as SS. There is some sort of -interrupt element to clemency.

You can cast it twice, depends on what you are fighting for interupts. When you have no mp, takes roughly 15-20 seconds to generate enough mp to get it back (thus ignoring your rotation and being a less effective tank). If you have to cast it a lot, I'd question your skill or your healers skill. I only use it when I need to, and usually it's to cast on someone else to let the healer focus on me, or when a the boss you are fighting is doing some sort of mechanic where you you're all about to take a lot of damage. It's a good situational support skill, and used very different then WAR's self heal. You can plan your heal to get the most of it since fights are scripted, whereas PLD's heal is more based off randomness that you got to react to.

edit: while casting you also lose your parry/block mitigation so it's not like PLD's cast it when tanking a pack of mobs (or shouldn't be).
