Yeah, one of the advantages of using SE on a RDM however is they can cure themselves and reapply stoneskin to absorb the impact of the damage thankfully. Typically, I avoid using it during the TP/proc phase, but it's nice to throw it out there when your zerging or WSing.

/BLM while it HAS it's uses in crowd control settings, it's far less useful for single mob (or 1 or 2 add) fights, and I can't really justify having it for ES unless there is an absolute pivitol point you must Sleep/Bind/Gravity/Silence during a 2hr on something resistant that doesn't have some of the new stupid resist rates. Last time I even recall where needing ES for something like that was maybe Suzaku if you didn't have or sub /DRK at 75, or Ouryu Cometh which was disappointing imo cause I never got resisted on him /WHM and w/o a staff.
