Unless y'all are lining it up so the 4% and 2% windows are what you get in Trick, it gives the group way more damage than the neutered Devotion.
    Devotion at least is 5% for everyone. Groups have to be made around Embolden to maximize it, so no Black Mages or Summoners.

    Healers get zero benefit from Embolden. Paladin's and most of Ninja's burst window and Dark Knight MP spender is magic.
    So even with a group built around it, only about half the group benefits.

    Regarding Paladin, Embolden is aligned with Trick, which falls squarely in the FoF window, not the Req window. Embolden may have no healer and caster synergy, but with DRK for example, there's still a massive chunk of their burst window that's physical (C&S, 2x Plunge, 5x Bloodspiller) and does benefit from Embolden. Devotion may be an omnibuff, but its far longer cooldown naturally drifts from other major buffs like Chain Stratagem, Dragon Sight, and Technical Step, while Embolden remains squarely in-line with them for the entire fight.
