Presence of Mind Buff.. ?

[OrganizationXIll]

I actually came on the forums to make this same exact thread just now. I totally agree, Presence of Mind has way too short of a duration to warrant it's 300 cooldown. I hardly ever use it. It's so short, that I've popped it before, just before I had to move out of a couple rings, and the duration was gone by the time I could cast again.

I was thinking that they should make this ability as a toggle ability, it quickens cast times, but it completely halts MP regeneration. Or something along those lines.

I think it already does halt MP regeneration. Which in 10 seconds you only miss like 3 regens so its only around 180 MP you are missing.

Its actually a pretty good cooldown. Your cure I will drop from 2 secs to about 1.5 which when your are trying to keep up two tanks or need to squeeze in a heal to a dps or yourself during high tank damage phases is pretty awesome. stacked with divine seal it can be a great way to recover if you get behind. I wouldn't mind seeing the duration stretched a bit further because of the 5 min cd (maybe 15 secs to match with divine seal) but its super useful both when your are working on hard content and for when you are stance dancing to get in some extra deeps.

I actually think it should go the other direction. Same duration, but with 3 minute cool down vs. 5 minute. I personally use it more as a cool down haste. When speed running with a tank that doesn't wait for a stoneskin + eye for an eye, I like to just let him get down as low as possible and pop Benediction. Then I follow with Presence of Mind to quicken its recast time. (Actually quite noticeable) I just don't see how having the most potent heal in the game on the same cool down timer as a simple 10 second minor cast/recast speed buff is sensible. Oie lol.
