If you're a healer in frontlines I would strongly consider rolling with fending accessories so you can survive the lb, benediction/lustrate/whatever yourself to full health and then laugh at that melee having effectively wasted his lb on you. This of course wont save you if a group is focus targetting you but really nothing will in that instance anyway. You just wanna remove the ability of some lone melee running up to you and one shotting you with a lb, that shouldnt happen to healers nor tanks. Anyway I do agree the fetter ward+stun+melee lb is gimicky and was disappointed that they didnt just keep it in slaughter and out of the new mode but what can you do.
