From the 8/10/17 Live Letter

Q: With role actions, each of the jobs are now able to take various actions; however, for healers, there are important role actions such as Protect and Esuna, so I am having trouble deciding on what to set. Do you have plans to increase the amount of role actions that can be set?

A: There are no such plans at the moment.

For Protect, it’s becoming increasingly rare that it’s not used. We debated until the very last adjustments were made discussing if it makes any difference if we kept or removed this spell. For this, we would like to make considerations based on player’s feedback.

Please don't get rid of Protect. Even it's effect is debatable, it's a staple Final Fantasy spell. In fact, you could double down on this idea and consider giving us a Shell ability, as well!

Turn Shake It Off into Shell it Off. Come on, Warrior needs some utility. A 20-30 sec party Shell buff wouldn't break anything but at least give them something cool and unique. Just an idea :P

Thoughts?
