Why do so many healers not use specific abilities?

[Risvertasashi]

Hello!

For a while now I've been noticing that many healers just don't use specific abilities. Either only very rarely or never. Recently, I've also been in many practice, clear and then farm parties for Suzaku Ex as a healer and I've noticed this about my co-healers even more.

I'm going to guess it's from sheer ability bloat.

I myself am guilty of this somewhat. I really don't use E4E as much as I should, mostly because I haven't had it for so long and perhaps partly because it's yet more clipping to play around. And well, when you have 4 hotbars of ability, it's hard to not neglect something now and then.

But I hope SE doesn't use that as an excuse to axe Benison come the expansion, I love that ability...
