Dear Paladins

You do not need to spam Clemency every time you go below 95% health. You are probably annoying the crap out of your healer, please stop.

Dear healers,

There’s already 1000 threads on this you don’t need to post new ones, please stop.

What’s more likely happening is the paladins are being left at low hp, see the healer casting dps spells and decide to take care of it themselves since the healer can’t be bothered.

Sometimes clemency heal us for much more than our healers...

[Shirokami]

Sadly I had plenty of runs where healer went "BUT MUH DEEPS!", so of course, I had to do it myself. Ended up being tank and healer both, while healer was just gimped dps - and no amount of explaining that healers do lower dps anyway so his contribution would be miniscule anyway would help.

^This. Depends on the situation of course but if my health is dropping below 50% consistantly and the healer is ignoring me to spam DPS spells, I won't hesitate to pop Clemency once or twice as a last resort (especially if the enemy is hitting pretty hard). I won't sit there spamming Clemency otherwise though, as healers are there for a reason and having mained WHM I know how annoying it can be for a healer to have the tank making them redundant. So I can see both sides of the arguement here.

My priority though is to defend the party, and if that means having to take healing into my own hands if absolutely necessary then so be it. But I won't do it otherwise if the healer is on the job and keeping me alive, as that's just wasted MP, wasted time and making healers look unneeded.

Another reason for popping Clemency at nearly full health is to use Divine Veil, as it only activates if you've had a healing spell cast on you (in earlier times where my HP was near full in that situation I would just pop Cure instead as the amount healed would be insignificant and not impact the healer), but I would be still reluctant to do so.

The only time I cast clemency is when the healer is shit.

If you are seeing Paladins cast clemency as a healer.. well... 1+1=?

I've never seen a PLD cast Clemency at 95% HP. Something tells me this is hyperbole. OP, if you keep seeing PLDs cast Clemency when you're healing, maybe you need to heal them more. Just a guess.

I worry when I see a good PLD use Clemency. I mean like when they know what they're doing. Something bad must've happened. I never call them out on it. Except for when I have Excog and it's there for you get below 50% and it times out and goes off when you're at full health. Especially now that I can Crit it and it can heal like 50% back if you let it go off.
