WHM/ Plenary Indulgence?

[Ghishlain]

I honestly think that PI with a substantially longer confession duration would be too powerful. Whilst it's kind of meh in casual gameplay, it's a great ability in Savage pretty much anytime the AoEs start coming in. It's massive reach is also something that's frequently overlooked.

15 seconds might work ok, but 20 or 30 seconds runs the risk of us being able to keep stacks rolling indefinitely in more challenging content which will just break it.

I wonder if they could have the PI buff decay. So you get two stacks, the timer runs out, but instead of the buff dropping it just reduces the stack counter by 1 and resets the timer. I dunno if they could do that because I imagine if they could they would've done it with Greased Lightning but it's a thought.

They do a similar thing with Embolden where it starts at 5 stacks and drops to 0 over time.

I like it!

And yes, as Metsonm said that's exactly how Embolden works. Maybe they couldn't do it back in 2.0, but they can now.

I would rather have Plenary Indulgence be given a set potency, say about 250 maybe, and do away with the confession stack business altogether. If it reset the timer for Medica II and Regen it would be vastly more beneficial at every level of content from 4 man dungeons to trials and Savage content etc. It would save the cast time of both Medica II and Regen along with MP cost and would make more sense to follow directly behind Medica to top off the party and continue the HoTs.

The RNG is gone. It is dependable and reliable. Though I do agree the timer is short.

The only time PI hits a stack on Medica 2 is the initial hit, not any of the ticks. Again, this is counter productive to the short timer on it. PI is an aoe heal, meaning you need to be in aoe situations for it to be useful. However, it's not stronger than cure 3, so you're simply better off using Cure 3 in stack mechanics.

Now if it gained stacks on Med 2 ticks that would be a different story.
