    I don't understand the change to be honest. I'm leveling up my Bard (41 at the moment) and in the dungeons I've been doing my healing LB saved a wipe twice on a boss fight after the healer bought it. No way a DPS LB would have saved the day there. Besides we already have truckloads of DPS LB's.

    Maybe not in your specific instances, but I've seen plenty of times where a DPS LB has been the difference between success and failure. And having truckloads of DPS LBs available doesn't mean anything when the game puts you in a group where the only DPS is BRD.

    EDIT:

    Besides, this is one less thing people can point at and say "BRD isn't a real DPS! Look, it has all this support stuff!"

    You don't want to be saddled with the almost-useless Healer LB if given the choice.

    For every success story of Healer LB3 saving the day, there are 10+ where the party insta-died upon rezzing inside a kill zone, failed in part due to the casting healer getting killed while in animation lock, or wiped because they blew the LB they now need in order to meet a DPS check after having several deaths.

    Pretty much this. If it gets to the point where you need to use a LB3, its probably unsalvagable due to enrage timers. You don't get ressed with invincibility frames in this manner, you have a whooping seven second animation lock (I counted) where you are literally a sitting duck, people who are alive don't get their mp/TP restored.
