TBF, Req was the original in 4.0, and 4.2 WAR's IR was patterned after Req, not the other way round. Press CD, get X presses of 'the heavy hit' skill. It's just that over time, WAR became known for it more, I guess cos Holy Spirit doesn't catch the eye quite as much as 5 Fell Cleaves did.

Still, slapping Clemency onto the oath Gauge/shared charges with Sheltron is probably not the worst, it'd mean PLD can actually heal, which it's kinda meant to be known for (using low levels of white magic). It's pretty weird to me at least that GNB has more access to 'i know i'll help heal the co-tank with this OGCD i have spare' than PLD is. Tying it to gauge would also mean having to decide, can the other tank live without your Intervention? Would Intervention mitigate more damage than the Clemency would restore? Is it a double TB, meaning that Clemency gets extra mileage due to half of the healing returning to the PLD? But also factor in, if you are using Sentinel/Rampart for your own half of the TB, this also amplifies the effect of Intervention. Oh lord this sounds dangerously close to 'optimization' so we'd better not, instead let's leave Clemency in this weird limbo of 'it only gets used when everything goes completely wrong, and it's a wipe anyway'
