It allowed healers to lose a bit of MP stress when letting the caster do the raising instead, even at the cost of a GCD of damage on their end.
Well it's no longer a thing, so much like single-target Doton, they can stop now. People will complain that healers have nothing to do but then rip away one of the few things they can do because "I'm helping!!! It's on my hotbar so I will use it!!!"

As someone who heals a lot it's frustrating to have casters claim I need help with MP management when I never go below 70% under normal circumstances because of a funny button called Lucid Dreaming. And another funny button called Thin Air. It's never because we actually need help, either. If 3 or more people go down then it's worth it since we're out of Swiftcast, but they'll raise the person that died before I can click Raise but naturally after I use Swiftcast, wasting it. And then their own DPS is absolutely abysmal because they were too worried about doing the healers' job.
