Where to go with the Lily Gauge

[Isharis]

Is that constraint really something you want to be at all balanced around? I certainly don't. It's constrictive and I don't look at WHM and think that it ought to have its potency-per-minute especially centered around buff-duration-sniping.

Didn't realize we were accounting for having to make major sacrifices for any changes, though its certainly a pragmatic view. I don't see having Solace add like +10-15 seconds to a max of 30 seconds or so to an existing Regen as something so OP we would need such a significant balance adjustment. It was more about having a way to use Lily that wasn't just a wasteful dump.

Since we are assuming any changes to buff Lily's will require such balance changes, and additional mechanics are frustratingly constrictive and inflexible, it would seem the ideal solution then would be to just remove the Lily mechanic entirely. Then we wouldn't have the constrictions of having to deal with Lily charges. We would have increased flexibility and wouldn't have to be balanced around the constrictive Lily mechanic.

Just have the Afflatus spells as simple cool downs. No having to deal with dumping Lily charges just to use Misery.
