Back in the day, bind was still useless, esp for coil. Off the top of my head in T5 you used miasma and had a paladin stun lock the add during twister phase, and for T7 you used miasma to slow and stack the renault(s) to a halt as tribind was aoe and would have ended up hurting the other petrified renaults, causing wipes. Both of those two scenarios were possibly thought by the devs to use bind for said mechanics, but players once more trumped them with digging deeper and finding 'optimal' strats for progression. Further back, it only served temporary use in Wanderers Palace, but only if you didn't have a whm or blm in the party, as their sleep was more effective in speed runs than our binds, and we had a bind limit then iirc.
