The problem with allowing Turn 2 Rage strat

Fair enough but we had a bard as secondary too.

You had a bard? Then what classes have your tanks been? If one tank was a PLD then you would've been set and done, as Palas can silence, too. We always do this with one BRD and one PLD who alternate on silencing the high voltages.
