Normally I agree with many of your posts on the forums, but I'd have to disagree with this particular point. Yes, Holy is an incredibly powerful spell for being in the hands of a healer, but I've yet to show up our BLMs' Flares with it. The stun cannot be used with much effectiveness other than granting (essentially) 5 seconds of mitigation (Stoneskin tank > Holy > Holy > back to healing) due to the long cast and animation times to take effect. As far as mana consumption... sure, it doesn't drain MP like Flare, but what does a BLM do when they're out of mana? Blizzard III/Transpose/Insert regen 50% MP in a tick effect here, until they're full, swap back and recommence burning faces. What does a WHM do? *Shrugs, pulls out staff, and begins to auto attack*
