As someone else said, Manaward and Manawall are not exactly "party utility", they mostly just let the BLM survive/eat certain attacks to allow them to move less. (i.e. allows the BLM to keep up their DPS)

Apoc does have party utility, but it's not used/needed very frequently, I'd much rather have super virus or an in combat raise!

Why does a skill need to be "Unique" to 1 class to make it very useful?
