    (Fingers crossed I've done my ciggy packet math right!)

    In a sustained situation Largesse will inevitably win over it's duration once you start including regens plus a couple of cures and such, but even with only a single stack PI offers more immediate front loaded aoe burst in pretty much any situation. It also has a shorter CD.

    So uhm, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one then? =(

    People were a little confused by Emergency Tactics at first as well, it'll take a little while to find the right content in which it shines for you. But in those situations you won't want to be without it.
    Pocket math is fine but as you said, in a sustained environment, Largesse will come out on top, which is what I was referring to; should have made that more clear I suppose. I'll agree to disagree on it.

It would be nothing less than a 450 potency 60 second CD insta heal past the first few minutes of O3S and about a minute into O4S. I'm not sure there's a way to make it impactful in casual content without turning it into an Indom grade heal in the end game unfortunately.
    I did list a few suggestions on how to improve PI without breaking it in the previous page but I'll go over it again.

    Increase the potency by 50 points
    Extend the duration on Confessions to 15 seconds
    Reduce the CD on PI to 45 seconds.

    End result is a slightly more potent form of PI with a more manageable CD than the current 60 second rendition and slightly more flexibility in Confession timers. It would match Indom in strength with 3 stacks but has a slightly longer CD and would still require prep for it to work effectively so I don't believe it would be terrible if these changes were introduced.
