Protect? Really important? Low level content

[Leiloni]

Agreed. People often forget that proper "support" doesn't mean mindlessly insisting on performing healing and buffing actions when supporting in other ways makes better sense and is more effective. There's a time and a place for both methods of supporting your party.

Using protect is one skill you cast and are done for the rest of the dungeon. It's just laziness not to cast that at the start. It's not like it's something that requires constant vigilance.
