Thoughts on PLD healing

No.

PLD already got its fair share of nerfs. Cover was hit hard, our main source of mitigation (block) was hit hard, and we lost Flash which essentially was a defensive CD. Leave PLD alone. This nerf that you're proposing is so unnecessary.

I don't see it as a nerf. It would actually increase PLD self-healing during normal play because you'd get a 10% shield every 2 minutes and PLD is the only tank that does zero self-healing in the ideal rotation right now.

It's more of a horizontal adjustment: my proposed changes give PLD some nonzero self-healing when things are going well, would make no change in short-term emergencies like a healer being raised (when you cast Clemency regardless of if you have 80% MP and Requiescat off CD), and would only be a nerf if you're healing easy content long-term and are dropping heals on DPS during the Requiescat phase or if you cast Clemency regularly in Requiescat (which you shouldn't, if you really need to cast it it's best to fit it in the phase without any buffs up). Slightly improved tankyness, slightly reduced healing utility.
