Assize is still one of the best spells WHM has imo, I really wish they'd play around with this concept of heals that also deal damage more.
It's a little more powerful than throwing stone IV at everything within range based on the potency. Hence if you reduce the CD, more DPS is available by using it frequently. Like it's similar to casting Stone IV and Medica at the same time.

When people rip on Lilies, they don't know the consequences of what they're asking for. It's not a limit break button. The healers can not exceed X DPS, or SE will nerf the the DPS skills to bring it back, likewise they can't do more than a certain level of healing, or it will also get nerfed for being unbalanced.

I'd rather see the Lily II mechanic based off "any crit heal" but they clearly did they did so it wouldn't be affected by Crit HoT's. They can't do anything with Lily I without nerfing the entire healing kit to force people to use it to bring it back in balance. It's impossible to balance a mechanic based on RNG, and it's impossible to use something strategically when it's based on RNG.

PI's original implementation was also RNG, making it essentially useless. It's current implementation is better, bit still not super useful unless you're taking so much damage that you've actually needed to cast party heals back-to-back, and since it times out, it's almost never going to have a stack of 3. Like they should just remove the timeout, or have the time out extended for 10 seconds every time a party heal is cast, regardless if it would grant another stack.

As for suggestions about DPS, guys, quit asking for that. SE is not going to make a healer have better DPS than a DPS, so any changes to healer DPS comes at the cost of potency being nerfed across the board, because that is what they did the last time (Lest you forget that they cut half the DPS kit in SB for WHM but not AST.) They removed Cleric Stance stance dance because it was a bad mechanic that turned mistakes into wipes, not because you wanted to DPS. WHM's utility is casting holy on Adds/trash to buy time from the stun, thus it's not useful outside of that specific combat event, and is too expensive to use as a DPS bomb.

And I'm going to repeat this again cause someone will jump the gun. The lilies are not a limit break button. You may not like that it does nothing, but for it to do "something" will come at the cost of something else being taken away, so please think about the consequences of SE getting the idea that you actually want the Lilies to do something more powerful. Like if it made the oCD time lower more often, they would increase the oCD time, or half the potency. Neither of those are good trade offs for being forced to use the Lilies.
