Give PLD In-Combat Raise? (3.0?)

[monochromicorn]

Considering I was the only one who said it, I figured that it's a simple balance fix for lowing the cast time. Since you guys have Riot Blade I figured a quick expenditure of a lot of mana to save an emergency situation would be balanced, just as long as you had some left over and didn't have your tank drained.

Thought I saw it twice X_X regardless, it's already eating half our mana, a flash takes 212, and a stance change takes 266. Riot blade or not, raise is over 750, even without an increase we can only do 2 oath changes or 3 flashes, without building piety. Increased mana cost to compensate for the reduced cast time would take it roughly 1k, lowering our available mp pool to 462. That's is either 2 flashes OR a stance change. If someone dies, and we have to raise, we are now screwed. Any truly great pld will stance dance. What if you die, I'm in sword oath, and after the cast, an add spawns? That means I have to change oaths, watch you fie while the gcd is going, hit the add with an ineffective move threat-wise, just to move along in my combo, by which time dps have already attacked it. Sure, I could provoke, but unless I already have RoH up, it's useless really, because I can't flash, because no mp due to raise+shield oath. I have now effectively killed more people than I saved
