    New PLD should learn how to use their mp effectly...!!!

    ...as the new DLC come out and the change of PLD i see so many PLD in DF compare with other 2 tank, and many time my team have 2 PLD, but most of time i notice that other PLD mp bar don't move an inche during the battle, they don't use clemency when their hp is low, don't even use them for holy spirit in tank stance to gain oath, a result is they rarely use sheldon as well, it's such a waste since holy spirit not only generated 20 oath for each cast also deal very good damage (about 20-30k in tank stance)

    Maybe because they used a jump potion. Yes I noticed this when I done susano extreme, where the other tank did not even know what the tank buster is, and how to mitigate it with a cool down. taking a full hit is insta death. It will phase it's self out after a few months, when people had there fill.

    For what they did to WAR and DRK it seems that it isnt the tanks job at all to selkf heal, none. They took a majoritu of sel healing away from both, so clemency is totally optional

    Meaning

    Healers shouldnt even consider clemency as an option you should heal the tank no matter what. PLD has that ability, but it is the healers responsibility since you know, you might not get a paladin.

    i dont think so, clemency isnt option, it awesome, in HW you can only have 3 clemency before run out of MP and it can be interrupt, but in SB you can cast 5 of them before run out of MP and cant be interrupt, i use it alot in susano ex, when my other dps make some mistake and healer have to take care of them

    im not arguing my point pld is not the only tank. and clemency is just an add on, it shouldnt be expected, nor assumed.

    just like RDM shouldnt be expected to vercure or raise when healers feel like dpsing, its the healers responsibility now. Self sustainability isnt a tank trait anymore, only pld have that mega cure

    Ya true, I actually find using that allot, sometimes to top a healer off or player who got hit by a aoe they could not get out of in time.Or just as a tank buster hits, get that extra bit of heal in, use the tools, intervention pop that on your tank buddy for that extra mitigation for the incoming tank buster before the swap.

    yeah, maybe for some clemency is an option, but PLD shouldnt left their mp unuse, they gain way too much mp from their physical combo and should use it to spam holy spirit instead

    It is optionals yes; doesnt mean u dont use it or put off. Some healers foucs heal on tank ignoring the dps or other healer. Giving help or heal last always appreciate the team work, plus clemency can heal 35-50% of target hp (dps/healer).

    PLD is party protector not only tanking, and thats what like about pld.

    So you think the most likely people to not use their mana are not the previous paladins who were used to a meta where mp was a resource of limited usefulness (clemency and flash only), but the ones who have used jump potion and never played paladin before to have predisposition to the old version of the class?

    Makes total sense.

    "They must have used a jump potion" seems to be being used interchangeably with "they are bloody stupid and don't know how to read" quite a lot these days.

    Whenever you've got a big aoe section, the healer will likely do a lot more damage than the tank when it comes to paladins, especially if they dont have to heal. You can have the paladin heal themselves while the WHM spams holy (200 potency downgrading to 100 potency over 5 targets or more), or you can have the paladin spam eclipse for 100potency per target while the whm heals. Obviously instants and ogcds can be used in either case, but generally speaking if resources aren't an issue (going oom, etc), the healer is better off dpsing. If you're in shield oath, your eclipse also gets reduced by 20% while clemency doesn't.

    Clemency basically gives you 600 potency of enmity per target too, which is approximately the same as a flash (assuming you have missing hp to heal).

    So... think of clemency as the aoe mana spender for paladin. You have to convince your healer to do the dps while you heal, but if you can you have a 1200 potency heal (1800 potency if you can heal someone else and recover your own hp as well), that gives you half of that potency in enmity, multiplied by shield oath, and allows your healer to use that gcd for aoe damage which is better than yours. The way to go about this in a pug is to be proactive - healers that are willing to dps will let you get a bit lower before they heal you generally, so just clemency before they do.
