For anyone who doesn't know just how bad Lilies were for a huge portion of Stormblood: You had a 20% chance upon using Cure 1 or Cure 2 to generate one Lily. Divine Benison was locked behind getting at least 1 lily. Lilies were consumed upon using certain healing cooldowns and lowered their cooldowns by a percentage. People complained constantly how badly they were only to finally be changed late Stormblood. Plenary Indulgence was equally as bad but is a whole other can of worms.

Now you see why I have a pessimistic outlook on healer design, reworks and healer changes.
Only correction I want to make sure was that Cure 2 was changed to 100 percent before release because the negative press that they got from the media tour concerning that and cure 1 to 50 percent chance but this made cure 1 moot so they changed that to 100 percent in either patch 4.05 or 4.07 think it was the earlier one. And bension got changed in 4.2 which was to me them admitting defeat to the whole lily system, Don't forget they never even changed the lvl 78 trait which was the 20 percent chance that a crit cure 1 or cure 2 would lower assize or asylum's cd by 5 seconds so you had a proc on a proc chance so basically 2-3 percent chance of it happening. Instead of trying to do anything with it they just outright super buffed assize to make up for it but too little too late and the same for the enmity changes that people were asking for 5-6 years at that point.

Of course given that fights were scripted, it still mean that the effect of the lillies were moot overall.
