2 Questions for Bards

I've used LB3 a lot. Usually when most of the group is dead and instead of letting the healers raise everyone one at a time, I'll just use it and raise them all at once. Of course, everyone usually dies again shortly after anyway, but hey, at least I tried. And using it usually gets me killed (thanks long animation!), so it's a last resort type thing.

Well, when I was running Titan HM's with the FC for relic weapons when I finally got my bard up, when I wasn't healing, if something went sour, me being one the only people who knew the fight that well in my FC for Titan's rotations, I used the LB even if both healers were still alive.

Bard's do not need a DD LB. There's 2 AoE and 2 Melee for a reason, just because they don't know how to use it doesn't mean there's a need for more. ^_^

I used it just two nights ago on a Garuda Extreme.

We were just running a couple people in our FC through (it's been a LONG time since we'd last done EX primals). The spiny plume is mishandled and kills a lot of the raid... a couple more fall in the next transition/killing the razor feathers. I'm told to use BRD LB, the entire raid comes back from death and we win.

last time I used bard lb was in ramuh ex

I never have needed to use it on mine, generally I find that simply using MP regeneration song to assist the healers is good enough as by that stage they have geared enough and learned enough to manage their MP better and by proxy keeping everyone alive/healed reasonable well. This is not to say I may never need to use it but I don't feel is a requirement at this stage to ever do so based on past experience, also people tend to want to save LB for the other classes during most fights, the BRD LB is one that is least asked for or desired amongst the various LB types in my experience. I also find that by the time everyone has started wiping, someone has already used LB prior to that stage and I cannot use it afterwards anyways.

I've rarely used it or seen it used. Most of the time someone does use the level 3, it still ends up in a wipe.

It's also pretty useless in frontlines pvp.

If so, how often, or do you remember the last time you use it.

My answer: I used mine once over a year ago (No joke)

2-How often do you see dps not use their dmg LB when they need to?

My answer: 95% of the time.


P.S. This is not a topic to beg SE to give Bards dmg dps, it's not gonna happen ever so why bother?

You should spend less time counting limit breaks and a little more time lvling some jobs you have played over a year and you have gotten one job to 50?
