It wont help all that much in training, sure taking 3 hits before you die is better than 2, but certainly not worth the effort. For bosses, if you do not have DrKs there which grants higher HB %, you are doing it wrong anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong please, but it does not stack with regular HB? The only use I can see out of this other than pure convinience would be that it can't be disspelled, but come on, good DrKs will have ur HB up before you die anyway. If not a few wheels would be lots cheaper than the cubing. Now, if it was decent SE, then I'd be hyped as well.
I see the Self-HB more as a "Training" or "Solo" skill, not really as a bossing skill since you'll more than likely have a DrK anyways. Come Big Bang, I can see it being somewhat of a "bossing" skill if your party can't get ahold of enough DrKs for every party. I mean 40% is still better than nothing IMHO.
For my experience, the Self-HB skill allows me to take on Crow and BF with much ease, without having to pot every hit, and it allows me to actually survive Anego now. Unbuffed I only have 17k HP and that's still not enough to survive the death slap she does.
