Plenary Indulgence was THIS close to being good.

[VanilleFang]

No retort for anything else in the post?

You mean the fact that 1 stack, at 150 potency, is strong enough yet you seem to think that to properly heal with PI you need 3 stacks?

Or how 60s is nothing, considering AoE that PI is useful for happen generally 60s (or more) apart.

And they don't know what they are doing with WHM? Clearly they want WHM to have healing up the wahzoo... but somehow being a incredibly powerful, potent, efficient healer isn't an identity?

It's usable but unnecessary bloat.

The lengthy cooldown makes it a pain, the 10s duration is awful, and how many fights are you actually popping multiple aoe heals one after the other?

Also, the aoe part is dreadfully low.

I've had stacks on a tank not even reach the melee dps for the aoe heal on the other side of the boss.

A nearly free OGCD heal has limitations. Oh no.

And both Ex Primal fights had multiple opportunities for AoE healing.

I never had to use more than one Medica II at a time in Lakshmi Ex.

Susano, yeah, but never Lakshmi.

The aoe part, like I said, is dreadfully small and I've have melee dps not receive the heal from a Confession on a tank.

If the group has to stop dps and do a group hug for the heal the aoe part is useless.

That leaves us looking at a 150 potency heal.

We already have a free AoE OGCD heal, though. On the same cooldown. In fact, it's more than free!

I donno what you can use this new PI to accomplish that Assize doesn't already cover.

Where are you getting that each Confession is AoE? It's not a heal bomb - Cure III still holds that title. It's extra free potency to free up GCDs on AoE healing.

From the move itself?

Or does "RESTORES THE HP OF ALL NEARBY PARTY MEMBERS" suddenly not = aoe?

[Verdan]

The skill is an aoe, but not the heal. it Restores the HP of all nearby party members who have a confession.

The radius is just how far away people can be when you cast it. The wording is confusing, but it's clear once you start using it that ain't no one gettin' healed but the dudes with confessions. It woulda been much cooler if it was also a triggered AoE heal, but there's a lot of things about the skill that could've been a lot cooler.

That just makes my view of the skill even worse.

However, that wording was also there when ONLY Cure I and Cure II Gabe Confessions.

So, the only thing that it could have been speaking of was the Plenary Indulgence move itself.
