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

swiftcast. Also it used to be 15%, they nerfed it.

Didn't SS have 18% effectiveness?
WHM had that perk because it was a trait.

Scenario B)
- Mitigation scales with # of Lilies
1 Lily = 15% shield
2 Lilies = 18% shield (old Stoneskin value)
3 Lilies = 20% shield
- Consumes all Lilies

I suggested a Scale per Lily thing myself in WHM forums.
I would go: The more Lilies used, the higher the CD
to compensate a say...10/15/20 percentage? That
way we aren't spamming it to death.
The real problem is the Lily consumption though...but someone said
there's a cooldown on it, but it's already significantly low on CD anyways...
The Cooldown reductions seems redundant to me anyways.

18% just for WHM in ARR, then it was equalized for everyone in HW with the trait for WHM just cutting the cast speed instead. Problem was that factoring in the cast time, it was the worst damage absorb in terms of overall efficiency.


Although Divine Benison offers less absorption, the lack of cast time and ogcd factor makes it substantially more efficient than Stoneskin ever was. Tank taking a nosedive? Any Cure or Cure 2 spell followed up immediately by a Divine Benison, and that gives enough breathing room to top that tank off or get off that one damage spell or even heal that one moron standing in bad.
