Suggestion for dealing with alts

[RyuDragnier]

Let's say I main Bard on one character, but I like to heal on another.

I go into FCOB this week on my bard, my healer can't get any gear from FCOB because my character is locked out.

If I have an alt class, that's a healer, I can go into FCOB on my healer and get the gear for my healer, plus practice the mechanics more.

But with the lockouts being removed, isn't the need for alts now null and void?
