The fact one of them seemed to waffle on raising me before deciding against it was the real kicker. :I
A lot of folks just seem... unwilling to rez anyway. I was openly shocked at one point when I was in... a raid or Trial or something... I think it might've been a VArk or a Weeping City. Anyway, whatever it was, we had a bunch of DPS - including myself (as a SMN) - drop for some reason or another. And our healers picked up EVERYONE BUT ME first as we recovered.
I idly mentioned after the fight that the rezzing could've likely gone faster - and eaten up less of their MP - if they rezzed me first. And they said they hadn't because all the SMNs they've dealt with refused to rez because it gouged their precious deeps. To which I stated I'd rather rez than wipe - deeps don't get you anything if your team is dead. Which I think they appreciated - though we didn't have a close call like that for the rest of the run.
But yeah. It seems to be a common enough thing that people who can rez don't usually want to. Meanwhile even Chachan has Raise slotted in his PLD cross-class (though that's mostly because I never got his CNJ high enough for Stoneskin). So, if someone near me needs a rez, I can usually throw one out.
