Presence of Mind

I have it macro'd in with Divine Seal. If it fires off great, if not, oh well. I'd love to get more use out of this ability but it just feels, as others have said, underwhelming.

I do use it to stoneskin everyone at the beginning of a dungeon though.

This is the only use I've found for it really, get 3 more heals thrown around atleast but yes the cooldown needs to be lowered.... just wish i could glue some crap potions to the macro as well

I typically use it whenever I could on healing intensive battles. PoM + DS along help aoe heals go a lot better.

I am a WHM on the cusp of 40 and I haven't gotten to end game yet. For my stance, I find it very underwhelming in multiple avenues. The cooldown is way too long for what is honestly very little effect. If you are going to have the cd be 5 minutes and the duration to be a piddly 10 sec, then why not make your spells cast, near instant. Currently it takes my roughly 2.5 sec Stone 2 cast time down to about 1.5-2 sec. Sure in a game of sec, every little bit helps, but if it's going to keep the high cd and low duration, make it send you into overdrive. how about a 0.5 sec cast time for all your spells. That would be awesome. And feel really cool to be able to fire off a slew of spells. If not, then the cd definitely needs to come down or the duration needs to go up or both. It doesn't give you that much of a benefit for all the drawbacks it has. I was severly disappointed when I used the skill and found how underwhelming it was.

Since Divine Seal has a rather big animation, it is difficult to fit both PoM and DS in the same GCD.

I very rarely use it for anything other than DPS, I'm a det stacker with little spell speed so I don't get a huge amount out of it in the first place. Plus it's tendency to interrupt a heal cast immediately after hitting that PoM button has me really rather hesitant to use it as an emergency cooldown, I've been burned by that one more than I'd like.

I actually needed PoM the other day. A YOLO pull, tank was taking massive damage very fast. With PoM, I was able to pop divine seal and cast regen and medica 2 fast enough the tank didn't die. That gave me the boost I needed to keep him alive, though I still needed to spam cure 2. So, while I do wish PoM was more available, I am glad it's there.

I main SCH, but have taken to opting for WHM in some cases like Ifrit Ex. I find PoM to be helpful when raid curing during nails (when other healer is giving off stink waves).

The duration is way too short on it for me to bother keeping it on my bar. Any time where I would have used it is better spent pre-casting the spell it would have sped up. Can't use it as a life-line button because it has some animation lag. Honestly its very poorly designed. If its going to have such a long recast, it needs to last longer.

Had a party earlier where everyone died except me, the other white mage, and a tank in ifrit ex. This was due to an accidental searing wind from other healer. What made it worse was that it was end of 3rd nail phase. So we had to swifcast a tank, swift a dps, then hardcast raise, also dodge eruption since they went to me from everyone being dead. We raised, we fought, and won before enrage. Presence of mind comes in handy there :) (other healer used it, i 4got it existed while i was raising lol).

Rare moment, but they happen, and they are epic when u overcome them.
