Since I pretty much always MT, I was looking from this point of view, to be used under scarce circumstances, like popping the Hallowed Ground Skill, then no matter how long your raise, you wouldn't be chewed up.. and I can see myself raising an Healer, and him to use the LB3 to save the long fight..

^ an example only ^o^

If they can give us Swiftcast then by all means! hehehe
