What does the "effect cannot be stacked with Higanbana" mean on Kaeshi: Higanbana?

You can't have both the Higanbana DoT and the Kaeshi: Higanbana DoT going at the same time. The latter overwrites the former.

I'm probably missing something obvious since it's late but what's the advantage over double Midare or Goken?

You can DoT up two different targets. Not useful in a single-target boss, but if it has adds or the boss consists of multiple targets then you can DoT up two of them if you wanted to.

But i guess it doesn't really matter when you get it

Shoha is just very odd skill maybe if it kept shinpu and jifu effects for down time during boss so you could just Midare right away when boss get back without worry of no buffs

Its also has basically no CD so I guess we are expected to use it alot?

It would effectively have whatever CD Meditate has because it's completely worthless without it and with current potencies there will usually be something better unless it's 5 stacks.

It's basically SAM's Plenary Indulgence, it's raid only and at launch it will likely be used for one mechanic in one fight till it gets tweaked....possibly for the worse.

For those who don't know; Plenary Indulgence is a 150/300/450 potency heal that goes off on anyone with 1-3 Confession stacks. Confession is applied via AoE heals, Medica, Medica II, and/or Cure III. Confession effect lasts 30 seconds. This means the situation where you'd use this at max is where you'd somehow need to top everyone off but three Medicas didn't do it. So basically a mechanic like where Alte Roite drops everyone to 1 HP while your co-healer is AFK or DPSing or something.

My point is, it won't be used outside of Raids. Being that I don't raid, my PIs are usually 1 stackers because it's an instant heal that lets me...throw more rocks.
