I don't understand how everyone can think protect is so useless. The second someone is revived, not only is their protect gone but they are in a weakened state. Sometimes I think Im the only healer who actually casts protect back on a fallen party member. They need it. Its not a permanent buff, its healer only, you have to be in the healers party, we can't go running around throwing protect on random DPS and tanks out in the world like we could stoneskin. Protect is far from useless, and this is effing final fantasy.
