rarely? it could save your party from wiping, in any progression run. If pt got low ilv, it would help a lot in any primal/coil run. would save ppl from accidental cleaves, stomps, puddles, ultima bombs, T10 dash/tether/cones, T11 spread/stack/transition/lightning/tether, T13 flares/adds/dives/stacking/akh/twisters..well pretty much everything in the whole fight.
For normal instances you could apply it, and ignore certain AOEs, like midgardsormr inner/outer turmoil, or those segmented fire AOEs.
so it's about timing. so if you waste it on bad timing, it doesnt mean the skill itself isn't useful, you just wasted its potential. It's not useful in every situation, but neither is adloq itself, or fairy buffs, or lustrate, or sacred soil.
