    Spreading an Eye for an Eye is not pointless, unless you are spreading it at bad times. Most bosses have raid wide AOE damage moves, an example of a great time to use it would be in V2 Savage during the move Antilight. It gives you plenty of time to aldo + eye for an eye the entire party which is always stacked together.

    I did say somewhat pointless, not completely pointless and even in that scenario, it's still only a chance to reduce damage so it's not a guaranteed thing, which is something I've never liked about EfaE but since it was a natural part of SCH prior to SB it wasn't a big deal but now that it's a cross role, competing with several other abilities that, depending on the encounter, are more useful than EfaE, I barely ever use it now, if at all.

    Only 1 healer needs to take protect, and the main point of deployment tactics is to spread Aldo. Not taking and using it with aldo would be like having a cake with no icing on the top.
