[Suggestion] PLD Requiescat

[Lambdafish]

That’s the thing though, you don’t use mp outside of requiescat because if you use mp outside of requiescat you won’t have enough mp for requiescat.

No, you don't use MP out of requiescat because it is very situational and always a DPS loss. You aren't going to clemency yourself loads during a fight because it uses a GCD and has a cast time, thats such a waste when you have healers to heal for you, and you would only do that in special circumstances. It has nothing to do with holy spirit or requiescat.

Thing is, you want to be at > 80% MP to cast 5 Holy Spirits under Requiescat. Yes, the MP requirement is restrictive should situations occur where you say, need clemency, but then you'd pop it and not even cast any magic. Say you needed to cast 4 clemencies before Requiescat is up, and you pop it and are able to cast 1 holy spirit; now what? You have 10 seconds of that buff going down the toilet.

In general, you never want to use a lot of your mp outside of Requiescat because not getting 5 buffed Holy Spirits is like missing the 5th Fell Cleave in IR, or the 5th GCD in PB; it sucks. Granted, there are times where you can chuck extra Holy Spirits when FoF isnt up and you have extra MP in place of a Royal Authority combo. But other than that, its about making the most of the buff, not the 80% requirement.

Think you missed the point. He wants it to work more like SCH/SMN aetherflow or MCH ammo where instead of being a duration based buff it will give you 5 stacks of holy light or something so you could use the 20% buff whenever you want during req's recast rather than spamming it all immediately to fit all 5 into the short duration.
