I can't use Glare while the boss can't be targeted. But I can blow 3 Lilies and stockpile a Misery. Now it's no longer dps neutral, it's 900 free dps potency I accumulated during a time where I couldn't Glare.
Alright I understand what you mean now, but I still don't think it has to be all or nothing, again as Mortex brought up in some fights there is no down time to take advantage of in that way but let's just assume for a second that all fights have some downtime in them in which burning stocked lilies is advantageous. I think this still works perfectly well with misery in its current form. From my perspective, it gives whm players an opportunity to optimize play in a job that is otherwise fairly straightforward by planning ahead and using their resources smartly. Fights aren't 100% downtime and going with my proposed rework, if whms were getting about 1 lily about every 15 seconds (or 2 every 30) and especially if they end up eventually getting an ability that generates additional lilies like Rhizomata they would have access to lilies going way above the cap of 3 throughout the fight. In my mind this gives whm players who know the fights, and plan ahead the ability to use their lily throughout the fight and then switch over to weaving their ogcds with glare leading up to downtime.

Thus with proper planning a whm can (potentially) dump the misery they most recently built up during the fight and then stock up lilies again to burn during the downtime. Since only 3 lilies can be stocked there is already a cap on the potential benefit misery can gain from downtime. So if the whm starts stocking lilies about 30sec-1min before downtime (depending on their situation) they can still do exactly what you have suggested, while still having plenty of lilies to use for healing, movement or just charging misery in the fight proper. I think my proposed change offers more than enough lily generation to make that a very realistic situation. But let me know if you agree or if you think more lily generation would be needed to make that viable.
