Is this proof enough that this ability is useless? ( Divine Benison )

[Princess_Momoka]

If they drop needing to need lilies to use it I be fine with it. But the restriction does not sit with me when you used to have swiftcast stoneskin for those situations. If you are fully optimal they have the same purpose, having someone not die from a tank buster and I spoke to someone that is very into salvage raiding that told me same thing. It just feels too restrictive and does not last long. It is also weird to me how WHM is the only healer without a prepull shield. I do not understand removing something you can use 34 + to be replaced by something at 66+ with restrictive use. Everyone I know hates the stoneskin removal, why couldn't they just buff stoneskin and not remove it?

It's supposed to be used on tanks, as it scales with the targets HP. Used before tankbusters, or when their health is going down too fast and you need to press pause for a moment. It's better than a combat stoneskin ever was because it's instant and ogcd.

Echoing the sentiment that, while I absolutely love Benison, it should only be using one Lily as opposed to... all of them - especially when the amount you have does not make it stronger or weaker. So having it consume all current Lilies is just a bit silly to me, and it isn't as though reducing the cost to 1 would make it OP. It still has a cooldown, so it's not as if you could be spamming Benison on the tank willy-nilly.

So you're telling me that a slightly weaker version of The Blackest Night, with no MP cost, with the only cost being something you get for merely healing a person once, is useless?

Lol.

Do you know any Dark Knights?

[ArcanoJones]

AN instant stoneskin does not sound useless to me. They are constantly rebalancing the game. That's what MMOs do.

Divine bension is better then I first gave it credit for, however, it does reduce a decent amount of damage while being off global cooldown. However any nice quality of life change would be to not have it consume all lilies because all I would really do is reduce the cold on by a few seconds considering it's short recast time makes the higher percentages kind of useless.

Yeah, and if they're losing 15% of their health standing in stuff, they're doing it wrong.

Havn't leveled WHM past 60 but I guess it would feel like a slap to the face when you see a certain NPC in the BLM line use Stoneskin.

It would be significantly better if it did not consume lilies, and was instead just (another) ogcd whm ability with a slightly different application than "heal for shitloads".

Hmm?
