Hero Condition Removal
Sir Tidus
If a hero has a condition removal equipped, then will he take priority in removing condition from himself over other members of the party? Or will he and all other members of the party get the same priority? Thanks in advance.

Time to test things out.
We have this little PvP island with some npc's applying conditions.
Take 3 heroes including a monk and put the monk so he can heal all.
Put several condition removers on him.
Walk 2 heroes and yourself in the same condition a couple of times, see if there is a priority.
Then do the same thing but walk in different conditions in the same time.
Things to find out.
Does a hero remove daze from a melee without spells? If so, also when a caster is dazed?
Does a hero remove blind from a melee character sooner then from a caster?
Which conditions get the highest priority?
Fun things to try and test and keep you busy for a while
Take a friend and 6 heroes for even more fun and to see if humans get more priority over heroes (for example).

Have not spent time testing it or observing it specifically, but my experience is:
Heroes will remove conditions over healing. This means if you are at 25% health and Blind, they will use a condition removal before using a heal.
Heroes will remove conditions regardless of what class and build you are using. So a caster will have Blind removed even though Blind won't affect them. Melee will have Daze removed even when they use no spells.
Heroes will remove conditions as soon as they are applied. This can be very good, as a Blind warrior may actually hit a target if the Blind is removed before the hit would make contact. However, a W/N trying to Plague Touch will waste energy trying to remove a condition the hero already removed.
Heroes only prioritize condition removal on when the condition is applied. So if an Elem is Blinded before a Warrior, the Warrior will have to wait for the condition removal skill to recharge before it gets removed.

Based on my experience of going through 4 campaigns with nearly all H/H - I will say that I have noticed and agree with MagmaRed completely.

During a fight, not really had time to notice, but what Magma Red says makes sense.
Sir Tidus
Thanks a lot everyone.
