Healer LB is really....underwhelming.

[FoxyAreku]

I am sure nobody wants to hear it, but the truth to be told, the moment a healer or a tank uses lb (1 - 3 don't matter) the group should be disbanded. If you are in a duty finder and this occurs, make sure you get your butt out of that dungeons as quick as possible. Therefore the looks of LB 1 - 3 for healers is irrelevant since in no cases a healer should have to use the lb.

I get the impression you've never done coil or an EX primal.
As I said, healer LB saves runs all the time. It just has to be a fight where the dps LB isn't 100% needed to succeed.

Also, Tank LB is required to survive Turn 13 and makes Ultima hard mode a whole lot easier...so...may wanna check your facts.

the healer LB seems to have no role in a well planned and executed encounter. And that's a damn shame.

Not really?

I mean, the only way it would have a 'role' is if there was a mechanic that literally killed everyone and there's nothing you could do about it. And that's just poor encounter design.

It's an LB made to be used as a last ditch effort if things go to hell. All it needs to be.
