Would removing clemency allow for a better pld?

[Faafetai]

Also please put a built-in Awareness (can't be hit by critical hits) effect into Sheltron so Paladin doesn't feel like utter pain when doing old content with random (all pre-80 content) or forced criticals (Dun Scaith: Diabolos Hollow, O3S: Critical Hit buster, Shinryu EX: Tera Slash). Having your Sheltron be completely deleted because you can't block a critical hit is just dumb since Awareness got removed.

I am not going crazy! I knew it wasn't blocking crits!!! I have been wondering about this for a while because it has been bothering me. It also randomly started blocking magic now? I do not remember it blocking ice sprites in vigil but sure enough it does now, I don't think it was a year ago when I first started going through as paladin.

Also unsure if it would be over powered but cover hollowed ground will sometimes not go through to me but sometimes the covered targets damage depending on source of damage will go through to me, is that also going through? Is it because certain things are critting or is this normal. Unsure if it should be completely negated if you use hollowed, I don't know how the damage is calculated or how it interacts with each other perfectly at this moment. More testing must be done.
