Are role actions a nerf?

[Fawkes]

Many of your "must haves" currently are not necessarily "must have" when you actually look at the whole list.

• Swiftcast is only mandatory if someone dies.
• Lucid Dream (Cross Role Shroud of Saints) will only be "necessary" if you have enmity and/or MP troubles.
• Esuna is only necessary if there is a debuff that must be removed by it.
• Protect will only be mandatory if a party needs the damage reduction gained from it. (a fair amount of content does not need it when current but it is nice)
• Cleric Stance will be nice but not necessary being a 5% damage for 15s every 90s.
• Affection (Cross Role action with Divine Seal icon) with only be mandatory (if it is a direct copy of Divine Seal) only when you need the boosted heals to keep your party alive.
• Eye for an Eye will be useful when raiding like it currently is.
• Surecast is getting buffed to stop Sleep, Stun, Knockback and pulls in addition to preventing interruptions. Be prepared to join Paladin's in cheesing fights like Sophia.
• Rescue will be useful when you have dps that do not dodge AoEs.
• Break will be useful in any fight that you need to slow down an advancing enemy like in T5.

Yes, they are all useful. But we can't have them all anymore. And since I won't know in advance if people are going to take lots of damage or die and eat up all my mp, I NEED to be prepared with Swiftcast, Lucid Dream, and Divine Seal.
