Plenary Indulgence. Really?

I've had stacks on a tank not even reach the melee dps for the aoe heal on the other side of the boss.

That would be because it's not an AoE heal, it's single target heals on whoever has stacks. It's not like each Confession buff explodes in a mini-Cure III.

A WHM would be strong in this instance regardless because they have arguably the strongest Group heals in the game. This new PI does nothing but overheal considering that there is rarely a time that you'll need to use what amounts to an AoE Cure within 10 seconds after spamming 3 AoE heals. Add to that the 60 second CD on the skill that severely limits an already limited skill to a point of being completely redundant and the skill goes from being bad to worse. PI needed the confession timers extended or all around dropped but instead they NERFED the duration to crap, made it proc on the abilities that not only are powerful enough on their own to heal thru almost everything but also made the heal itself so pitiful that it wouldn't matter one way or another if you used the skill because it wouldn't realistically save anyone.

It's worse than ever and honestly I'm more than a little upset because at least before I could make use of PI as a semi-free heal but now it's been reduced to an overheal in situations that I can already handle perfectly fine without the very little extra PI now offers.

Well, you're wrong about there not being anywhere you need rapid AoE healing. Off the top of my head, this would have been really nice in 3 seperate places in A8S; going into first intermission, Final- rotations, and J Waves. Also last phase of A12S. Just because we don't have an obvious use case for high AoE healing in current content right now, when there is barely any Lv70 content, does not mean it won't exist.

And stop looking at 3-stack as the skill's only use case. A raidwide AoE goes out and you Medica*2 to heal people back up. But did you actually need that full 600p? Or would 450p and saving the second GCD have been sufficient?
