Square should just ditch the job stones as "equipable" items. You get it rewarded to you, on completing of the lvl 30 class quests (or the job quest, for later expansions) and it loads automatically when you change jobs, with the class role no longer available to load past 30. In PF, you can also select specific class/jobs that can join. I don't see why they can't do that for DF, just make the class roles unable to join duties above 30.

And just to add a comment: it would also save airheads like me having to go back to an old class; forgetting that I didn't "register" the outfit correctly; and having to apologize profusely to my hilarious companions when I arrive in a dungeon.

I mean, I use LB on trash mobs fairly often and it's been a bit of a godsend on occasion. Though I do recall a RDM asking me "WTF with the LB?" once when I used it to all but clear a troublesome trash mob near the end of 'The Fell Court of Troia'.

No worries - and probably could've phrased my post a little better!

Nonetheless, I am curious regarding just how many players do think that saving the LB to try and finish off a weakened final boss is the norm.

A lot. Most don't even use it for intermediate bosses, even when the rhythm would allow LB to be slammed twice.

LB usage is so bad in the community. In ARs it is constantly not used at all before reset and there are so many who in dungeons or trials only use it for melee, on the boss, when the boss has like 4% left. Like gee thanks you killed it when an auto-attack could have done the job...

Thats just a power fantasy play, because people like to see the big LB attack finish the boss. It doesnt bother me at all when a dungeon run is going smoothly. If you have a capable tank, capable healer, good dps, and no dicey moments, then it doesnt matter if they save it. Also doesnt matter if its used during a pull.

When it does matter is when things are looking iffy and people dont use it.

I dont get why people would complain about it being used during pulls. Outside of someone not knowing the mechanics during bosses, its the pulls that pose a risk and where groups are most likely to wipe.

Had people insist on it being used to finish the boss

If i'm on ranged I use it on the last big pack. Then if on the final boss, it fills up, boss is below 15% and melee hasn't used it, i'm throwing a ranged lb again >.>

The only time I get frustrated is when LB3 is used by a non-healer whenever the boss is at 47% health, the healers are struggling to bring everyone back to life, and most players in the alliance are KO'd.

U have to tell about it in chat, but usually people don't read in time, so there is no more need for AOE coz pack of big w2w pull is ded.
