Is there some unspoken rule to not use Esuna/Leech?

I could keep going. As a BLM, I have been paralyzed enough times to know that paralysis SUCKS. Not being able to do anything in a game which needs you to keep moving SUCKS. And a healer who has the power to prevent that from happening that makes the conscious choice not to use it is not doing their job.

That's not really fair. While a healer might choose not to do it, oftentimes they are making multiple choices at once and your paralysis is low priority.

Healer choices often look like:

1. Keep the tank up.
2. Keep the dps who is at 10% life up.
3. Avoid one shot AOE.
4. Get rid of your non-lethal status debuff

You better believe that your debuff is not going to be dispelled until the very end, if at all....
