    Thoughts on PLD healing

    I know there's been very little discussion of PLD because it and GNB seem to be in a pretty good place (as far as we can tell right now). These are just my musings on things that feel awkward right now and could perhaps use adjustment, but I thought maybe some people had similar thoughts.
    • The buff to healing magic only for Requiescat should probably be reduced, maybe all the way down to 20% again. PLD's maximum healing output on other party members is a little too high right now, you can basically be the only healer in dungeons. (Changing the MP cost or potency would mess up other things is why I think Requiescat.)
    • Divine Veil should work on self. It's the only tank skill like this that doesn't and is already awkward because most single-target healing won't trigger it. It would compensate for lost self-healing if Requiescat was nerfed. Alternatively, the requirement for a heal should just be removed because of the 5.0 changes to healers.

    Basically: currently PLD can throw out 5x 2700 potency instant heals during Requiescat if the cast is on somebody other than yourself. Since Convalescence was removed the buff to Requiescat makes sense, but when it's used on other party members it's excessive.

    Currently, a good WHM or AST is likely to not trigger Divine Veil because they heal so much with abilities instead of spells. Granting the shield to yourself would make Divine Veil useful in more content even if you have to cast Clemency on yourself to trigger it. The only issue here is SCH are more likely to trigger it than the other healers due to the fairy.
