Clemency and Interruptions

[Zetsubou]

I like Clemency, a very reliable heals that is a really good addition that have many good situation to be used at.

But, the problem is having a spell that function normally like every other spell where attacks does interrupt it very often to be used by a job that is expected to be taking damage makes it a very unreliable spell to be used.

A suggestion, is either have a condition on it where blocking make it uninterrupted or to make it a completely uninterruptible to be used much more often and reliably.

Swift Cast , PLZ !!

A proc would be cool (getting hit with a Crit?) that would allow a faster/instant cast and/or lower MP cost.. just thinking..

Idk if I want the cast time to be completely removed though... I like that casting animation :P

[AnimaS]

Paladins have a cast time on stoneskin as well, it's meant to be able to be interrupted ........ SE clearly knew Clemency could not be used while the Paladin was being hit.

I get the picture that Clemency was intended as a heavily used item for an Offtank to use a bit more often, and an MT to preface with a defensive cooldown followed with the big heal in clutch situations.

That said, I haven't been interrupted using it nearly as much as I expected. I do often preface its use with a higher defense cooldown more often than not, however.

Clemency should become a gcd, plain and simple--like flash.
Time spent is barely a dif, 2.5 vs 3.0

But what this does is
1) cant be interrupted--which frankly....were tanks. We take damage--its our job.
2) allows us to use this power and still block/parry (spellcasting prevents you from either). Remember..were tanks. We take damage--its our job.
3) It scales off skill speed (on our gear) vs spell speed (not on our gear). Cause you know..we are a Discipline of War Class, not a magic.
4) The spell will land a bit faster, which is great because if you try and heal anyone else with this, it becomes 80% over healing. Its too slow compared to the rest of the raids healing, and if someone is still low after 3 seconds, you are having some serious issues!


Thats not saying its not useful--it is, it has times where it shines, but making it a GCD would make the ability fit in with our kit much better. Also--its still mana gated (the main reason you cannot spam it)--that wouldnt be changed of course.

Would Hallowed Ground work towards not being interrupted?

What about Sheltron?

Of course I'm talking about being MT.

-------------------------

On another question to SE, it would be nice to be able to use the cross-class abilities like "Raise" and if we have unlocked the potential of WHM to use it while in combat: with it we could really feel like a Paladin..

I would waste a HG to raise a Healer, anytime in order to win a fight against a Boss!

Raise - Protect - Stoneskin - Clemency - Divine Veil - Cover - Convalescence -> Just Awesomeness.

You're rarely being interrupted if you're off tanking.
There are moments when you're not being hit at all or bosses aren't able to interrupt you
Such a thing as time & Place.

[Ronzeru]

How about..... you just learn to cast it while bosses are using a castbar? Or between any other mechanic where the boss or mob isn't hitting you....?

[Ultimatecalibur]

Interruptions are determined by amount of damage taken during the cast in comparison to the caster's max hp.

Attacks that interrupt a Str tank will not necessarily interrupt a Vit tank.
