Thoughts on PLD changes

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.

I've been noticing this myself, actually. Most recently the Vault has been extremely painful for me, using mostly level 55 gear from the Aery. One run it was fine-ish, some very painful moments with the waves of guards before the first and second boss but otherwise fine, which was with a sprout WHM. Next run, with a level 80 SCH, and there were many wipes. I wasn't sure if it was the healer being bad or if it was me being bad, and I honestly still couldn't say, but I then went on to run Great Gubal Library using the same gear, with a sprout SCH and it was perfectly fine. To me it feels like there are certain little trouble spots while leveling where things are just extremely painful, just a few sudden large spikes in difficulty. I mean, difficulty spikes are to be expected as you level up, but this was less a spike and more a wall. Something feels off.

I've used Clemency a handful of times since getting it. I usually don't feel the need to, but if I feel like I'm about to die, I'll use it. Like 95% of my Clemency uses have been in the Vault so far though...
