Healer LB...when to, not to?

[Ashira]

There are no rules to it. Sometimes you just have to make the call as a healer and use it. If you skip to 10:30 in the following link there's an example of me using LB3 on our first Garuda Extreme clear a few weeks ago; http://www.twitch.tv/wabakisnatcher/c/3420460

The Spine Plume reached three stacks and exploded; killing off our BLM and the other healer. I was backed into a corner healing here, there wasn't enough time for me to get the other healer up and get the tanks back on their feet before the next phase, and even if I did manage to get him back up in time he would have been low on MP. Raising someone with LB3 gives them full HP and MP.

As a rule of thumb we save LB3 for the healers unless we're sure a DPS LB will finish the boss off. It's very rare that a tank LB is needed.
