Because sometimes your spell speed isn't enough to migate damage towards the tank, especially if they love to do huge pulls.
I got it few days ago and I was disappointed. I really thought it would halve the casting time, but it just reduces them by... nearly 20%. Regarding the INCREDIBLE HIGH GCD, the skill is mediocre, at best.
PoM is amazing, while I am always for upgrades for classes/jobs this ability is one of the stronger ones any job gets. I for one love the new CD on this ability it makes it very useful double spell speed for 15 seconds is awesomesause.
The reason White Mages have Presence of Mind is because we're restricted to our GCD heals aside from Benediction and lolregens. Presence of Mind decreases the casting time of spells AND decreases the GCD of spells which effectively boosts our HP/second--which by the way, also scales with spellspeed whether we have a spellspeed BiS or not.
If it would be "real" double spell speed, it would be great. But it justs doubles the stat - that's a big difference in the end.
It's actually a 30% reduction in spell speed.
Read what I said....? Why do people type before they think, I said it doubles SPELL SPEED, this is the STAT in the game, its called spell speed, it affects your..you know, spell speed.
