It gives them a little less mp but also saves 40 mp for you, so it may be more or less a wash. There's still pld, drk, blu and others who won't be subbing sch all the time, even after 70, and refresh was never RDM's only contribution to a party.
Second: if their JA *is* counterproductive to the party, how is it any different than telling a rng/war not to provoke? Does that make you uncomfortable or feel like a "bad guy"?
I'm sure SE gave a lot of thought to every aspect of Sublimation before introducing it at a subbable level (and apparently un-nerfed by subbing). Its interaction with Refresh is not an accident.
