Optimally. However, it happens. Anywhere from 24 mans to savage raids. Prog, cutting it close in a speed run, people getting careless, new players who don't know how to time a heal or cooldown, there's any number of reasons. There are certain fights where you absolutely want to be second in hate as OT because if the MT goes down and the boss so much as looks at the healer they will die and that can cascade into a wipe.

When I'm partied with my co tank I keep Eye up and usually alternate between Eye and BB combo unless I'm cutting it so close I have to alternate between Eye and Path. But we've been tanking stuff together for a while and he's very skilled, there's only one or two times I've accidentally ripped off him (usually in A10S).

Anyhow it's academic at this point, rotations are going to change in Stormblood and Path will have a higher Beast Gauge value. Please look forward to it.
