    Presence of Mind's cooldown feels too long.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a good skill, but it would be nice to use it more frequently during an encounter. I feel it suffers from the same problem Thrill of Battle used to have with its 3 minute cooldown, where the gain from using the skill does not match it's cooldown.

    I never use PoM because of the CD. It guess I just ignore it. It sits on my third hotbar, next to pots, food, and Fluid Aura. Is that bad? Lol.

    It's not really a good skill. Being essentially cost-less it's better than a kick in the pants but it's essentially best-used for raises when swift is down. Even then it's not a big difference.

    Thrill of Battle at least is a definite freebie that does its job well each and every time it's used.

    I use PoM mostly for burst dps. Swiftcast holy > PoM > holy spam packs quite a punch, in addition to providing fair CC. PoM also helps if cure II spam isn't quite cutting it (typically speed run pulls) and you're stalling until divine seal comes back up. Sure, the CD is long, but simply ignoring it is a waste. Check your position before you pop it though. Having to move to dodge an aoe or mechanic really hurts the effectiveness of PoM, since you need to be constantly casting to make the most efficient use of it.

    Shorter cast time never hurts but the value is WAY too small. If it cut a full 1s off it may justify the CD, but not as it is now.

    Lately I only use it for just burst ST DPS. Stoneskin + E4E the tank > CS > Aero > Aero 2 > PoM > Stone 2 spam until the tank is at about 75% HP (PoM should be long over with tat that point if the tank is decent)

    its pointless really. 300sec cd and lasts for 10sec...they should either decrease the cd or increase the buff duration...or both!

    I agree. In fact, this spell is an instant cast, but actually last for 9 sec due to effect delay like benedication.
    It's also good to note that, presence of mind scale with our current casting speed.. So, WHMs with high CP going to be OP if squire actually decreases CD, if not dramatically. Japanese players also talking about this so maybe.. It will get buffed near future.. Hopefully lol.
    Buffs are always welcome even our friend Blm getting one in next update.

    - Solo healing Cure II alterations between tanks while waiting for the other healer to raise.
    - AoEing down trash before the tank needs more than one full restore on health.

    I might not use it a lot, but I like when I use it.

    I think i've used PoM twice… it really isn't worth it. I don't even understand when you'd need to use it? Healed all the way up to Turn7 and its not even on my crossbars anymore/
