Presence of Mind

Do you use it? The spell "Presence of Mind". Sure I can clearly see the effects of the spell work, but for 10s and a recast time of 300s, it hardly seems worth it.

When is the best time to use it, if your going to use it?

Not as a trump card, but as a prediction card. Assuming that the raid or person(s) are about to take damage that you want healed fast, or that you want to buff and heal people quickly (like if both healers are taking one tank each and a dps gets hurt).

I think Presence of Mind needs a bit of an adjustment personally. It's helpful no doubt but a lot of people don't use it because it's an extra slot that could be filled with something else. I use it a fair bit just because it helps sometimes, but only sometimes because if people don't get hurt fast enough to compensate for that speed buff then it feels a little wasted (like benedicting someone who has over 50% HP)

I'd like to see a duration increase or cooldown reduction (possibly both) but I wont be mad if they don't change it.

Idk what type of endgame you do but I find PoM very useful during T5 when the second set of snakes spawn our tanks tend to go up and down extremely quickly and the double spell speed has actually saved us from a wipe. I also use it during Ultima when all 4 ships come crashing down with all those lazers you hardly have time to medica everyone so PoM makes it very easy. Imo I would say use it when you know for a fact several pt members will be taking a very large amount of dmg and that extra 2-3 seconds is the difference between someone being dead and everyone being full HP. Just my two cents :x

It's incredibly underwhelming, yes. No point relying on it, but no point in just leaving it to sit there unused. Maybe save it for raises when quickcast is down, otherwise just use it as a far-too-occasional timesaver.

Also soloing it's a DPS boost.

pom quite good in a lot of areas: the snakes in t5 i pop it after the second set of divebombs during the lb to ensure tanks dont die. T4 last phase split heal both tanks. Titan ex during adds phase, ifrit ex last nail phase, making sure tank and pt are alive. Even Pom to res someone.

when used correctly it can be such an amazing skill to have.

I usually only use it in Garuda Ex to pump out a bit more DPS in slow phases where I don't need to heal at all (Stoneskin <3)

Might try it in T5 as a couple in this thread suggested

I like it and think it is very useful...just wish the cooldown was not that long.

I rarely use Presence of Mind. In fact, I often forget I even have it. It is undoubtedly useful in some places (Ultima HM as was mentioned, and I sometimes use it when running WP with my LS to spam Holy a bit faster), but overall, the cooldown is just too long to warrant using it unless you're certain you won't be needing it again for a while.

Learn to cope without it as much as possible really.

recast is way too long. right now it gives the feeling of being an "oh shit someone screwed up and i need to save the day"-skill but by the time you activated it and casted your spells the tank might be dead already. it's nice for reappling some stoneskin on the party though, but a lower recast won't break the skill. especially since you are still limited by your mp as whm.
