Doesn't help that Liturgy has a 3min CD. Most times I use it, it doesn't even get to burn all 5 stacks. Which is why I would like to see it get changed to 3 stacks, 90s CD, and have it's damage penalty for early detonation removed. That way, it's a 1200p OGCD heal if you need it, 3 blasts of 400p if you would rather have the healing staggered (to avoid overheal for example), and it being up twice as often gives it an interesting use case vs Macrocosmos, it's direct competitor skill. That being, 'its up twice as often'. Of course, that would run counter to SE's design of 'WHM has to be mainly reliant on GCDs to heal with'. But it would fit well with WHM's supposed aesthetic of 'big healing, on demand, simple and powerful and easy to access'
