    Interject may not be used much, but it's very handy when it's needed. Especially when you're in PoTD and need to prevent pox from mimics! If you want to talk about useless skills though then how about we talk about Intervention? That's one skill that will never grace my hotbars.

    ...Why would you refuse use an up to 30% external mitigation tool with a 1000p HoT?

    ...It's still healing GCDs saved if used on tankbusters. Why leave gauge just sitting there when OTing?

    This doesn't matter in normal content. Plus I want the other tank to die so that I can be a hero :>

    Always saddens me a bit when players fall back on this argument. Who and/or what exactly sets this standard? Is it so long as the content gets cleared? Is it the meta? Or is it just some arbitrary bar set by the illusion of a serendipitous community? Beats the hell out of me, but I can't help but smirk a bit when I graze my finger over the button for Succor instead of Broil, just to spite the min/max pushers.

    Support abilities are there to assist. If I can totally handle carrying four boxes from point A to B, and someone is willing to carry two of those boxes to at the very least conserve/split the energy expenditure, then this is what's called a "courtesy". If you start to argue about optimization and efficiency because one person can do job X, while a second person does job Y; then you're just missing the point, and there likely won't be much use elaborating on the matter.
