Reduce Confession Stacks to Two

[DamianFatale]

I think that White Mage should have its confession stacks reduced to two. If SE did that, and then boosted the remaining two slightly, it would actually make them a lot more useful. They just shouldn't go too low, or too high. Otherwise it's just too OP, or too UU.

Personally I'd like it if Confession stacks still lasted 30 seconds, so I could start prepping for hard-hitting mechanics well in advance of the actual hit, but I understand why they didn't go that route.

They completely missed what was wrong with PI, and the result is a button that's even worse in most ways. Maybe they'll figure it out on the third pass, although I don't have much hope since they couldn't see the very simple and easy to fix problems it had in the first place.

In O1S, there is a point where an aoe goes out, and then another aoe which is then followed by Charybdis. If you time it just right (allows a couple seconds wiggle room) you can get a 3 stack PI off for Charybdis after its cast. Granted that is with somewhat careful timing. There are some other fights and situations where you can try and time the heals to get 2-3 stack PIs off but really just adding even 5 seconds to the lasting time would make it so much better and that's purely for some extra wiggle room.

This move is fine as is and I think timing the aoe heals instead of spamming them like most people seem to want to do would resolve most issues people have with the time, not all but most.. WHM is predominately a reactionary healer and as such 10s is just fine, but thats my opinion on the matter.

PI is fine and needs zero changes. Please do not change it, square enix.

PI is very useful in savage fights.

How is 10 seconds fine? Most movement mechanics take around 10 seconds to go off so they drop off by the time the boss does his thing, Bosses have cast times and stacks only apply to targets that get hp healed while in combat, doesn't apply to full hp people.
10 is to short, 30 should be fine.

Would I like the duration increased to 30sec?.. of course. Is PI useless?... not in the slightest. People need to accept what the skill it designed to be used for rather than what they want it to be. It works fine as is, and the change was a vast improvement from prior.

And that's part of the problem.
Shouldn't be a "Savage" skill because only a tiny
portion of players even do it.

Do you really never cast an AOE heal in the entire rest of the game??? Is Medica II really the only solution you can think of to an AOE problem, even if a Medica + 1-stack Plenary chaser would be more efficient (costs less mana, Med II is usually a ton of overheal in faceroll content)?

Yes, it's primarily a Savage raid ability, but guess what? So are Synastry and Lightspeed. Sure, I could push them in dungeons for the lulz, but it's not practical and it's not efficient and the only way I truly get mileage out of them is by using them in EX primals or Savage raids. Sometimes the redonk throughput cooldowns they give healers in this game just aren't needed at the casual level. C'est la vie.
