Lightning Spell?

[Patchouli]

Lightning bolt is the strongest single target anti-boss spell a mage has.

If there's multiple mages, it's silly for them to wait and do nothing (which will likely happen if you cut LB out of available spells) instead of throwing lightning bolt to accomodate one bleed, when one lightning bolt already accounts for half the damage that the full duration of bleed would cause.

Plus, it may not take off bleed anyway, it's not 100%.

If there's just me and one archer, and I throw lightning bolt with bleed 6 seconds in, either I gained damage on whatever we're trying to kill, or we broke even. If I don't throw it at all, we also break even, so I see no harm in throwing it. Using the previous argument (although I don't really agree with it), there's also no reason why the archer can't wait for me to lightning bolt before casting bleed either.

If there's multiple archers, they can reapply it after if it gets periodically shot off anyway, since they can't stack their bleeds on top of each other.
