Clemency a bit OP?

[Faytte]

So is Steel Cyclone because it does less damage than Decimate, so is Inner Beast because it deals less damage than Fell Cleave, so is Equilibrium because it forces the WAR to be in Defiance...and so is Defiance, because it reduces your damage output

Order of magnitude. Steel Cyclone, Inner Beast still do damage. You are talking about a loss certainly but not a total loss. They also dont happen 1.5 seconds after you want them to occur as spells do. Moving in and out of defiance for a tank buster is also pretty moot, its 10 seconds of so to absorb a buster and then back to deliverance, all of it being OGCD.

10 seconds of losing the damage buff from Deliverance, suffering the damage penatly of Defiance, and halving your beast gauge twice during the process...frankly, if you just need a 1200 potency heal to be thrown at you, it's better to let a PLD Clemency you than you popping Equilibrium...especially since, IIRC, Defiance only boost healing magic.
