Would Clemency by OP as insta cast?

[Isius]

I think the best solution I've heard for Clemency is to change it to a super long duration HoT.

First, it helps PLD's aggro issues. You cast it on yourself and maybe 1~2 other people before the pull and the initial aggro feed from the HoT would help PLDs solidify early aggro.

Second, it fixes the tendency to over heal. A portion of it will still over heal but it won't be as hit or miss. Being a HoT will also make it easier for healers to gauge how they should adjust their own healing around Clemency.

Third, from a design PoV, it helps differentiate PLD healing from WAR's Equilibrium. Rather than just being another huge heal, it gives PLDs unique healing utility from the tank role.

Yes This! I've said this a few times on these forums about this idea. I would so much prefer Clemency to act like regen then a direct heal. Pld is meant to be more of a supportive tank, and having Clemency as a HoT makes so much more sense and benefical, than me as a Pld using Clemency as a direct healing trying to be a actual healer.

Clemency as a HoT would actually give groups a little more reason to bring a Pld to groups.
