    There are times where using Purify to break Sleep is acceptable and even a good plan. It depends almost entirely on how time sensitive the actions you were taking when you were slept are.

    I don't get dotted up (3+ DoTs) all too often. If I waited to use Purify for only those moments, I'd use it maybe twice per match. There's opportunity cost to waiting on using a CD, and, in my experience in Frontlines, it's generally not worth waiting too long.

    Anyway, on the topic of the thread, I don't ragequit groups. I never have, and I never will. I'm always the last few members in any party that falls apart in PvE, and I've never once left a PvP match. If I ever quit a group, it's because the group has already quit.

    Nothing bothers me more in this game than people who give up and drop a group at the first sign or struggle or after a wipe or two. I'd rather have a party of completely new players who persist until the end than a party of godmode-run-expecting veterans who get pissy when things start going sour.

    Sure, i perhaps worded my initial post badly, but using a 2.5 min cooldown skill because the healer wont esuna is extremely wasteful

    That I can agree with. I'll usually wait out sleep if no Esuna is incoming. Exceptions to that come when I was doing something time sensitive, though, such as a push for a kill on a healer or a particularly troublesome DPS/Tank. In such cases, I'd waste Purify even on a root or stun effect.
