Would removing clemency allow for a better pld?

@Aurora what I meant by calculus is that when using clemency, we do it as emergency backup.
Just because someone is taking damage doesn’t mean we stop what we’re doing and use clemency.
What I’ve sound with nascent so far is, it’s more like dance partner.
I’m going to use my tank cooldown anyways, and if someone has taken damage (usually a sage for some reason), I just nascent them and continue without thinking about it.

Honestly I think this is a far better way for a tank to approach group support is in a way that fits into normal flow, which nascent does beautifully.
Whereas with clemency it’s something has to get really dicey before it’s time to even consider it, because we aren’t the healer, we are the tank, we tank and do damage.
For warrior, and hell, even drk, that flow isn’t impeded

For an average dungeon run, there is no reason to use clemency at all. The healing the healer(s) output will be enough. So no clemency "tax", or anything to think about.

Clemency is for when things go wrong, and then some lost dps is usually the least of your problems.
Like if everyone else in the group is dead and you have to solo the last 5% of a boss. Then clemency is very, very, useful. (Been there, done that.)

Don't touch my clemency!!!! I have been able to prevent lots of wipes thanks to clemency because the healer died or got disconnected. I don't care if I have to sacrifice some DPS as a tank in an emergency situation in a stupid dungeon. You souldn't need it in raids or extremes anyway, and if you do then your team has way bigger problems than that supposed stupid tax on the PLD.

they could make 2-3 stacks ogcd it could be better
