Should Divine Benison be improved?

Hmm, I'd personally like to see divine bension being a cooldown and not locked to the lily system. I think it'd be more fluid that way.

That and our lily system is very underwhelming and the traits are pretty useless too because cooldown reduction is dumb. If it could empower our OGCD's or possibly add an additional effect to the OGCD skill; like for example making asylum restore MP/TP or anything really it'd be more useful imo.

That and letting us have control over if lilies get spent on the next OGCD or not. Not that it matters at this point in time because lilies are just fodder for divine bension atm.

I think I can see 'why' DB is locked to the lily system, and I actually agree with the decision.
Regardless, I'd much rather see some kind of 'duration' increase based on how many lilies are consumed for this ability rather than a cooldown reduction. There are a few too many times that I'm sitting on 3 lilies, the only lily-eater not on cooldown is DB and my brain thinks 'ugh, what a waste'.

I may be a bad whm, but I need my lillies for my assize cd reduction. why would I want to waste them on a shield that I don’t really need to cast anyway? I’ve never had a wipe and thought, “ Boy, I wished I had cast DB there.”

Given that WHM is struggling to even generate lilies, and nearly all of your oGCD tools spend your lilies, you're rarely ever going to have more than 1 lily at any one time, unless you start playing incredibly inoptimally.

For a single lily, Benison provides a 15% oGCD shield, which can save you a healing GCD down the line. 2.4s off your assize recast isn't anything you "need".
