Thoughts on PLD healing

[ZellosWilder]

Requiescat grants 50% buff on all 5 casts as long as you have 80% MP when you use the Requiescat skill. If it didn't work this way, you would just end it on your third cast. If you cast Clemency on a party member under Requiescat, you get 1800 potency on the target you heal and another 900 potency on yourself because of the drain effect.

I just tested it and you are correct I thought it was 50% only for the first 2 casts as your MP goes below 80%, always thought the 1st 2 did more kinda strange... I guess I misunderstood how it works.

Macro spamming like that is obnoxious. If you're raiding, you use voice chat to communicate and in DF a 10% shield doesn't matter enough to beg for a healer to waste a GCD they had other plans for. Maybe I'm just traumatized from silence macros.

I disagree with this though when doing extreme or raids you ain't always in a static and on voice chat and because you are doing stuff with randomers with different skill levels you don't expect them to know how other job actions work. Same goes for when using a macro for Hallowed Ground it helps a tonne when the healer knows you are invul and don't need healing for the next 10secs.

The macro also helps when there is another PLD in a group that also uses divine veil no point in both using it at the same time.

Using a macro isn't obnoxious, never had anyone complain about it once since HW when PLD first got Divine Veil so I don't get that. As for the 10% shield it saves players in a DF group as it has done before, healers heal less then as well if you have a skill that you can use and it be useful during AoE attacks why would you not use it?
