Final sting, if properly prepped with Off Guard, Physical Libra, Whistle and Moon Flute, does more damage than a Melee LB2.
Seven of them, a perfectly safe number for any content in the game, is equivalent to firing off more than four melee LB3s.
And they can crit. And direct hit.
You can kill savage bosses from 10, 20, maybe even 30% with 7 stings and no risk. Yes, no risk - the MT just diamondbacks while the rest of you commit ritualistic suicide. 8 is slightly riskier, since it requires the MT to res someone, cast their own combo and hit ti without dying.
"But what about mechanics?"
Can't die to mechanics if you and the boss are both dead!
"But I'm a healer?"
Don't need to heal if everyone's dead or a bubble boy/girl/cat!
"Is it really worth 3 skill slots?"
Hell to the yes - 3 buttons is worth crittable DHable melee LB2! And if you're a DPS, you'll be using moon flute openers in most fights anyway!
Here's a table of absurdly safe Final Sting timings that can kill various bosses. Note that at 50, final sting actually does more like 21-22k without critting, and 86-88k at 60 - and BLU DPS mimicries have absurdly high crit/DH rates, making it even safer!
