PLD abilities.

Alright, first Sword Oath, it might be augmented by some stats, still it has a potency of 50 and as the skill says "Increases the potency of auto-attacks by 50". And on top of that, it doesnt effect anything else at all while Darkside increases ALL dmg by 15%.

I don't know specifically for pld, but for dps classes auto attack generally accounts for around 15-20% of their total dps. I assume it's similar for pld. That means sword oath is basically a 15-20% dps boost. Remember pld has a fast auto attack so it adds up really quick.

Clemency, as i said before, while you're MT this skill cant be casted most oh the times since you get interrupted, and even if you're OT its your job most of the times to keep some people save from adds or something, not standing around healing. if a situation gets dangerous your ability to tank is of much more use than to heal.

you can generally get clemency off while being attacked. However it also shines when a boss goes to cast something. I use it to just help out the healers a bit most of the time. Boss does an aoe, cast clemency on either the target that needs it the most or the least likely to receive the first heal. Dps misses a dodge cast it, phase changes top people off. It doesn't make us a healer but it is pretty amazing having a heal that powerful that you can cast on anyone any time.
