Why does Clemency get interrupted? And why does Sword/Shield Oath reset combo?

[winsock]

What nonsense is that ?

I'll reword just for you Reynhart!
To avoid a dps penalty via a combo break, PLD needs to anticipate a max of 3 cooldowns. If you don't bother with anticipating, you *might* take a dps hit from a combo break.

This is as opposed to warrior who needs to anticipate a max of 8 cooldowns in advance to avoid a dps loss, or potentially death from a mitigation loss.
