Thoughts on PLD changes

[TheForce]

This is honestly absurd about clemency. I can say that after a dungeon run today as the healer just DPS'ed the entire time. Just nothing but Holy Spam and I would get down to 20k HP. If I see a WHM spamming Holy and i'm that low I can expect a Benne at some point. But 25k HP? If I have to burn a CD because a healer just wants to NOT heal then they should have rolled a DPS.

I proceeded to Clemency away, and not just one. I went insta cast requeiscat clemency spam. poof! Full HP in like 5 seconds. AND THEY GOT ANGRY! Saying "I got you, just DPS and let's get this over with." I told them you can just keep using Holy since I can really heal myself during trash. And they said "I'm the healer let me heal!" I said" Would you please then so I don't have to?" He left without saying anything and soon the whole group since healers are harder to find then tanks.

Is this the new style of healing? If it is then I suppose healers should get used to PLD throwing down mass quantities of Clemency for a slight DPS loss overall. What confuses me more is WAR's have nascent flash, and DRK has souleater, and GNB has aurora. Every tank has a heal in some manner, and i'm guessing that nobody is scowling over simple heals like that. PLD is the only tank with a massive direct heal, and we rightly should because we used to have cure 1 if some can remember. Now we have to be looked down on for a skill that is actually super helpful and synergies with requeiscat?

Thoughts?

Wow, that guy sounds horrible. Honestly, if I was you Sqwall I would've just ignored him and kept doing my thing. If someone's isn't truly harming the group and preventing progression, one should not try and dictate how they play. Even then, some light pointers is really all that's needed.

THANK YOU! I love tanking and I don't want to change due to other members poop attitude. I heal with AST as well and plan to level it shortly after i'm 80 on PLD. The healers to me have been traumatized from past expansions being forced to DPS to pass a check. Now they feel that they have to DPS all the time. It's ok you don't have to anymore, I only did DPS as a heal when the actual DPS members were insanely good. Things would melt fast before I needed to heal.

Thank you for saying this though. Toxic players really are toxic.
