Is there a way to actually use Plenary Indulgence?

Like others said, boosting PI doesn't make any sense, if you don't even use Cure III on a regular basis. You want more free AoE heals, but tell me, for what?

And with what justification? WHM already has best AoE heals and best MP Management. So ok, you want better PI and impactful?
Ok, if they also do a 50-150 potency nerf to every AoE heal GCD and also Assize. There you go, PI is now much more important.

We want to keep things balanced, right? So if you say "I want better PI" you should also need to say "I'd give up xyz as trade-off.".

I would have been fine if they had done anything else to PI than AoE healing in the first place, because as you said we have a lot of AoE healing already... but yet, you know, Lv70 skill? It'd been nice if our Lv70 skill was actually useful in more than the "occasional S&G skill". It's a letdown, to finally ding 70, see that you learned a new ability that is useful like... 1% of the time, and in only a handful of situations. THIS is supposed to be the "Ultimate" skill we learn? lol.

Do other classes have this problem with their Lv70s as well?

SCH would trade Aetherpact/Fairy Union for WHM PI in a heart beat.

You spelt Dissipation wrong.

Only change I would still like to see to PI is a small duration increase (12-15s duration). And for it to be less clunky with it's delay, but that's more of a problem with the game itself than the ability.

I feel it's important to note that this skill is much more usable than just 1% of the time, even in non-savage content. It feels lack luster because you're not getting 3 stacks of Confession consistently in non-savage content, let alone the fact it's only 150 potency at one stack.

However, there are still opportunities to use it. Pretty much every single boss in the current EXDR tier has some form of party damage (I think the only exception is the second boss of Kugane castle). Medica II + PI is still a 850 potency total returned. Is that too much? Then just downgrade to Media + PI for 450 potency upfront at 360 less MP and 0.5s less cast time. Even if the PI is wasted on other members on your team, it's still a free Regen tick on your MT after the fact at 150 Potency.

150 potency gained is still better than 0 potency gained by not using your PI. And using three PIs over the course of three minutes is still an equal value to using a single 3-confession-stack PI in the same three minute window and forgoing earlier applications.

Again, it's not Thin Air or Tetra or Assize but it's there and should be used when you get the opportunities to do so. It's a free minor heal that will not clip into your GCD usages if you're playing the kit well - use it when you can and just keep on trucking.

As a tangent, I almost feel we wouldn't have these sorts of complaints if PI was the level 62 skill and Thin Air was the level 70 skill.
