Why is everyone anxious about a PLD Rework?

[Rithy255]

And I just don't agree with you. Clemancy is most definitely not useful until the situation is so dire that when it is useful, it's only "okay." I'd much rather it be useful 100% of the time than maybe 1% of the time.

And I don't think its solo/other content uses should outweigh its use in relevant content. Relevant content must always come first. Clemancy's current iteration fails to fulfill the class fantasy and job identity of PLD. Intervention's EW upgrade helped a lot in this regard, now do the same for Clemancy.

I agree Shield Bash (and Cover) needs to be addressed too, but Clemancy is a far higher priority.

And yes I complain about Vercure too, but Vercure is much less bad than Clemancy.

Issue is you say solo/other content should outweigh the other relevant content, but why should raids determine a ability that doesn't/shouldn't negatively effect PLD in any way? even if you never changed clemency it doesn't harm PLD to have it all of a sudden, unless they tax it? (which I don't think they do, they more so tax cover/passage defensively)

Not everyplayer is going to be a hardcore raider and having a nice niche ability that allows PLD to save runs in casual content, allows them to solo and even importantly Help with prog (which anyone denying that prog isn't important is just wrong).

I just don't see your issue with clemency it's a free ability that is useful in Progression and raiding content, it doesn't matter if it's rare or not. I agree that PLD should have a direct OGCD Heal option but removing clemency because it isn't useful in the content you like? no thanks

Clemency gives class identity for me at least, powerful tank with a solo heal or emergency option, what would be good is paladin Also getting a OGCD heal
