Feelings on FF14's Trinity System?

[Rithy255]

I personally think Clemency's implementation has problems. Hotbar space is at a premium such that to add new actions you often need to remove some. We're getting to a point in jobs' development where expansions tend towards animation updates on pre-existing actions (i.e. Broil 12). Having a button that you don't press outside of progression/emergencies isn't effective use of hotbar space. I think it's fine for that functionality to exist, but it should also have a reason that you want to press it under normal circumstances.

While I agree Clemency does contribute to limiting Paladins hot bar space, it's actually not something that should be took off for that said reason, Personally I find clemency actually useful in fights especially when a healer is down for example you can sustain key players while the other healer is busy rezzing ect.

If I were to remove anything Shield bash would come first, and I'd even rather remove Cover before clemency as I think clemency has way more use cases then cover does, Ideally I don't want cover to be removed just to be useful again.

But here's the thing, PLD's got a lot and... I mean a lot of redundancy on skills, for example Fight or flight mainly used to buff burst damage... when you already have a burst button in req, Goring blade it serves zero purpose other then to be a high potency hit... which again you already have 4 of those, I'm sure they could be scaled up to compensate removing goring, a button that no one currently cares about. (Personally I want goring to be a second combo path again just let it do something else and be more flexible).

Not Even that Holy spirit? couldn't we just merge circle with it into a cleave attack at 72. The list goes on and on, on what can be done before clemency should be removed.

EDIT:
I will add I wouldn't mind it if clemency had a way of becoming ogcd (no cast obviously) once per minute or something ontop of its normal function.
