Presence of Mind - better, but still useless, suggestion how to fix it.

[Kondor]

Welcome.

In patch 2.3 we have nice buff on Presence of Mind - Duration now are 15 second and recast time is only 150 seconds. That's great, but skill is still useless because is still faster cast Cure II than Presence of Mind and Cure II. Healers need plan when to use it so this skill is useless in danger situations.

My suggestion is simple - change "Increases spell speed." to "Spell cast are instant".
That change makes that skill almost same like Swift Cast but any skill on that 10-15 second will be instant with normal recast time.

PoM is awsome as it is now. maybe the first cure II right after PoM is normal cast but the next 10 or so if you want to cast are faster.

I didn’t even know it got a fix. I stopped using it cause i found it to be almost useless that I’ve ignored/forgot it was there. Too short of a duration and too long of a cool down. I see it still has a short duration and long cool down.

Do you know how op that would be? You'll have 2 instant raise. You'll have 3 instant raise on pvp! It's fine as it is. Its a buff, not a clutch skill.

Well it would be useful on Titan, Twintania and other things. Right now its a once in a blue moon buff. Duration too short, cool down too long so i worked without it so long…. I sometimes forget i have it.

15 seconds to push out more whm dps on t9 golems and ghosts. I like the skill now.

Yes i know this but my plan take replace cast -> recast, so if you now have Rise 8 second cast will be 8 second recast after Presence of Mind. Of cores in 10 second you can rise 2 people in this situation but you make your CD on any skill for 16 second, so in this case is spell better use Swift Cast. For PvP we can have additional balance like many others skill. My idea is give WHM little more mobility - now only spells on Swift Cast and Regen can be use when he move.

Reduce CD to 2 minutes, make it we can cast PoM on other players (doubles both skill and spell speed), with them receiving a debuff (weakened mind or something, unable to receive another PoM buff for a set period of time, similar to apocatastasis) once PoM finishes.

This will make people love WHMs

I find it very handy now don't see the need for more changes tbh. Although the above post is quiet a nice idea

It is situational yes but it does have its uses since the buff. I use it in T8 during dreads to push out some more heals. Cast stoneskin right before it spawns then regen and pop Presence of Mind during the GCD.

I also use it whenever I have time to DPS to push more DPS out.

Really it doesn't need another change to it. Before the cooldown was far to long but now at 2.5 mins it is useful and the cool down is short enough. If they were to reduce the cooldown longer I wouldn't complain but it works for what it is now.
