    Two, in roulette content. Against Alexander Prime, and in the Seat of Sacrifice. Only the second is mandatory for the MSQ.

    It's been used in other content during early progression too. Oborrne Monastery used tank TB after defeating Ruination in the Ultima fight for the first few weeks.

    I was there at launch and don't remember needing to use a tank LB for that fight. Alexander and SoS outright wipe you if you don't use it.

    I was in several runs where the healers at the time due to a likely combination of their own gear not being up to par to deal with the healing check during that phase and the gear of the DPS also being lower than it is now resulted in them not being able to keep up with the requirement and while not a wipe, we'd lose multiple party members, so the tanks would use the LB to keep the party alive. Though it was short lived as it didn't take long for people's gear to catch up.

    Then you got unlucky, imo. This is the first I'm hearing of it and I never knew you could wipe at that point without Tank lb.

    Anyways, lb is always going to be this source of contention and I believe this is due to what information players have gathered about it from other players vs experience. Experience tells you lb is mostly insignificant. Inexperience has you believe things like "you should save it only for healer lb3" or "leave it for melee" and you tend to stick to those beliefs until you get very experienced with the game.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.
