Lot of silly arguing here.

Clemency is a mitigation tool. As someone who mains both paladin and white mage it’s scary how squishy all of the tanks are in the pre 70 leveling roulette dungeons. I will use clemency on myself or others as I see fit.

I might dps. I might stun. I might let that dancer who keeps pulling for me as if they are doing me a favor tank the pull on their own. Shrug.
