I usually pop it about 3/4 through the final boss fight if no one else has used it.
It's the DF, does it really matter?
LBs are cop out, they should be removed, the boss is in their prime during the last quarter phase, killing the most people with overlap mechanics, why would you want to stop that?
The problem is that in most cases LB1 is a dps loss. It needs a buff. I LIKE using it, but I can literally do more damage by ignoring it. LB2s basically don’t exist if you have good damage. The boss dies before it’s available. That would also use a buff, to the charge time.
I use lb when I know the boss is not going to do something that has a chance to kill me since as melee I am stuck in place.
Don't assume players are not using LB because they are blind. Some encounters require certain LB's to proceed. Certain encounters it is best to save an LB for healers etc etc. I don't personally care if someone decides to spew garbage as a result of my using the dps LB but I have seen people verbally assault others when they decided to LB. A lot of people just want to enjoy the game. They don't want some random idiot telling them they are doing something wrong or playing bad because the used a LB. That is why players avoid using LB in DF.
