    Also it’s 400 potency per enemy hit, and it can crit, so if you hit 10 enemies with 1 gcd it’s a 4000 potency heal, do it in your crit window, and well it doesn’t matter invincibility is invincibility.
    Also after using shake it off in a few raids, it’s comedy how much better it is than Devine veil.

    Ultimately though, you need to do math in order to figure out if you should use clemency.
    Nascent, there’s literally no reason not to use it.
    I don’t want to be complaining about warrior it’s just, kinda makes you question why pld was ever taxed for clemency.
    Seems like the entire job identity is caught up on something that you’re discouraged from doing
    I mean, you don't need to math to use Clemency. I was just using potency numbers to show the actual heal and damage difference to support my argument that there is not really any issue.

    Warrior uses Nascent Flash off CD most of the time wasting a lot of healing on bosses (trash packs are different). It does a lot of healing and is off the GDC but is thus reliant on two factors.

    1) Being able to get off a GDC on the target boss (for example a Paladin can heal on downtime (if for whatever reason your healer can't, Warrior cannot since they need to use a GDC attack on a target to heal)
    2) It not being on cooldown

    Issue with Paladin clemency
    1) On GDC, meaning one less damage GDC
    2) Heals less and deals less damage then Nascent Flash most commonly.

    Benefits of Nascent Flash
    1) oGDC
    2) not relient on a resource

    Benefits of Clemency
    1) Usable at any time if you have MP (which unless the target is loosing massive amounts of HP constantly you are not going to run out of MP

    Now this is single target. AOE mob packs is basically another story in which Warrior is basically broken (though in a fun way),but I would doubt removing Clemency would really make them ever change much about Paladin (or give Paladin something simillar). I do agree Shake It Off is great, but once again, I doubt they would add more if they took away Clemency.
