I got a question! (PLD)

[Enkidoh]

Clemency's main purpose is it is not meant specifically for duty content per-se, but solo-content, allowing PLD to survive in situations they probably wouldn't otherwise.

And the amount of times I've been in a party and had to heal because the healer is distracted meeting DPS checks or is.. not very skilled, and my health has dropped to dangerous levels which even mitigation wouldn't help me survive, so you better believe I've going to cast Clemency to heal myself - I wouldn't use it on myself if my health is above half my total HP though. And it is useful when cast on someone else as it will also heal you by half that amount if you do so, so there is benefit for PLD to make use of it in emergency situations.

Formerly it was also useful when Divine Veil required a healing spell to execute, in that it allowed me to buff my party up without waiting for damage or the healer to heal me, but that's no longer neccessary.

Also, the other tank Jobs all have their own regenerative-style healing abilities which PLD does not have, so Clemency instead is a burst heal to compensate.
