Would Clemency by OP as insta cast?

[Xenosan]

In Shield Oath, Clemency isn't interrupted unless Knock-backed (insert Tempered Will) or Stunned/Slept/Silenced/etc and provides a 20% incoming Damage Reduction while casting.

In Sword Oath, Clemency works as is but also restores 300 TP to the PLD.

More like upwards 40% of our mp per cast

No, I can get three casts before oom.

Maybe because I'm moon keeper?

Oooo name calling. You're so cool.

Here's the thing though. What penalties does PLD take at low to no MP?

There's no name calling, its asking a question. If I was name calling, it wouldn't have been in the form of a question.

When you play PLD, come back to me. You don't, I looked.

I play all three healers, Paladin, bard, ninja and summoner.

I know how WHM works, thanks.

What do I lose in those 8 globals?

A shit ton of dps and threat because Riot Blade hits like a girl and has no hate mod.

Well.. If we count 2-3 ticks of natural MP recovery and a single Riot Blade combo, yes, I can fit in 3 before I go OOM.

Oh no! you must be so shaking having to lose a whole 2 - 3 skills when OOM! *tear

It must have been such a terrifying experience. I can't even remember the last time a group wiped because the PLD went OOM. It must be a repressed memory!

Joking aside. If you lose enmity its your fault. U can still use skills to keep it and can still function as a tank with no MP.

It sounds like there are a few ways they could make clemency more useful. Granted, I have not actually played a Paladin at 60 yet, however I have extensive experience with tanking at high level in other mmos.

A few ideas from other games that could work well here.

1. It definitely sounds like the cast time needs to be lowered to 2.0 seconds, and made non interruptable, or at least harder to interrupt
2. A group heal with half the potency is another option
3. A heal over time could also be interesting
4. Finally, in one MMO I played called Vanguard, one of the healer classes had a "reactive" heal, that they could cast on someone, and it started with 3 stacks. Each time the person takes dmg, the reactive heal triggers, but at a fairly low potency. So perhaps in FFXIV, it could heal for 1500ish each time someone gets hit, up to 3 times. Interesting, helpful, but by no means game breaking, since you'd still only be able to use it twice with one mana bar.
