PLDs: You have Clemency for a reason.

[WhyAmIHere]

Coming from a player who doesn't know how rdm works while talking about rdm? Yeah I'm so gonna take you serious.

I cleared all of alphascape *(normal and savage) as RDM.
RDM is the only caster I play with any degree of enjoyment.

Literally the only class I know next to nothing about *is monk. Where I've at least attempted to provide insights into how OP could improve their play and, with my own sense of humor, encourage them to keep on improving, what've you done but come into a thread, not posted a single thing on topic, and berated others baselessly?

I say again. There's been heated discussion here yes. But so far only you have been 100% toxic thus far.

[RaidingIsHard]

Get Good.

Though I guess complaining in the forums after being told to play better is a coping mechanism for some gameplay-impaired people.

[SaberMaxwell]

Okay so riddle me this, why do paladins have a highly potent skill at all then? According to you people it's seemingly a mistake apparently. Again. You are ignorant to the purpose of the skill. Whether or not you ever grow to get past that is on you to realize that maybe the hivemind is never 100% correct.

In a word? Flavor. Literally that's it.

Still not caring. Good for you that you cleared content but it's sad you still play rdm poorly not knowing how to utilise it's full kit

Ah so that large potency is all for flavor too? Damn

[SaberMaxwell]

Basically, yeah. It fills the "Paladin is cleric / fighter" niche that many associate with it for one reason or another. Paladin actually used to have access to Cure 1 as well as Raise in the day because they crossed directly with Conjurer (White Mage).

Ignorant to a skill of my main for 4 years, what you been smoking dude? As I have said which you are clearly ignorant of reading, Clemency is not that important to use, because healer toolkits are so damn powerful, you shouldn't need it outside of prog or in solo play, or your healer is an idiot and didn't keep themselves alive or dodge the bad. In most case outside of req, you'll probably be dead before the cast finished upon realising the healer is struggling.

It's not a hivemind or conspiracy you are making it out to be, kinda embarrasing that you are claiming this to be honest, it's a I've been playing paladin in endgame for over 4 years, and it is very very very rare I actually need to consider using it outside of prog. My experieince is enough to know you are over sensationalising the skill.

It is a hivemind. The only time raiders will however turn on each other is comparing parsers trying to out do each other.

How is trying to optimise equal to hivemind? lol

I guess you just want your participation medal, because comparing parses is part or the fun when optimising, it's usually a "fair play" or "nice job", when you beat your best parse, or you beat someone in friendly competition if you choose to compete with someone. Raiders don't get pissy or "turn on each other" as you claim over parses.

Just shows how little you really know, but tbf you don't raid, so you're only making assumptions.

[aodhan_ofinnegain]

I honestly don't understand why the paladin being the tank able to do something other than hit-it-and-wait-to-wipe is the problem here.

You have this great ability that has key and valuable points of use, but people would rather aoe and die.

I don't get it.

Because it shouldn't be needed to be used if the healer is any way competent. Usually you don't notice you're on death's door until it's too late because you should be focused on managing cooldown usage, rotation and checking on enemy healthbars.

Except if you're one of those idiot tanks that panic after a single auto attack and spams Clemency, man they crack me up every time.

I'm used to seeing my hp around 30% mark and still know it's fine, I've been bene sniped around ~5%, still didn't use clemency, because healer mains gotta have their fun.

As well, it's not always possible to get that clemency off before you die, because my first thought isn't so how is this healer gonna let me die, but how to best keep on top of my cooldowns to mitigate as much damage as I can.

There is of course the situation where MP is spent and not enough generated to even cast a spell, but that's the obvious "what do you expect me to do if I have no MP".

Except this is one of those cases where it was needed.

It doesn't matter whose fault it was at the end of the day - You have the unique capability to turn course, and the refusal to do so shouldn't be a mark of pride.
