Inalienable truth #1: Not everybody remembers to put Reraise up 100% of the time, or has time to do so in a high-intensity AOE situation where they Raise only to wipe again. If this has never happened to you, congratulations. If you deny this has never happened to anyone you know ever, I call shenanigans.
Inalienable Truth #2: Not all DD are made equal, as parsewhores are well aware (you know who you are). I tend to hand out Arise to the best DD's in a group when I know the extra 2 minutes can enable them to get back in the fray that much quicker. And nobody has ever said to me "Oh Raise III would have been fine enough" when their weakness drops early and they don't have to waste a Reraise charge.
And it IS possible to get them for free. I don't know how she got them, but you can get them for free via a LS or by a very lucky freelot.
