You can argue it's a waste in the ideal run where everything goes perfectly. But being dead is a dps loss way higher than the penalty you took for using IB instead of FC. In that sense it was very similar to clemency. You don't touch it until you really need it. And when you really need it it's a godsend. Equilibrium already existed, so that was nothing given as a compensation. NF is what warrior got to compensate for the self sustain they lost.
