Could we have an option to turn off LB3 visual effects?

[Plastics]

If that happens it's absolutely not on whichever DPS used the LB3, it's on people who failed the mechanic. "Save LB3 for healer" doesn't really have any reason to be spouted outside of ultimate/savage prog.

It's a common practice to hold LB3 unless you can get two in case you need the healer LB3. It's a pug, entire parties die in 24 mans all the time, you have no idea how many people in your group know the fights etc. This is not just a savage prog thing. It's very common in regular content.

If you're not using RDM's LB3 to wipe the raid, are you even using RDM's LB3 right?

But no seriously, in most cases if a melee doesn't LB3 or if you have to hold it because your party is just that bad in regular content that you're most likely going to wipe without healer LB3, a RDM LB3 blinding the screen is the least of your worries.

This is completely wrong. Using LB3 as soon as it's ready doesn't do anything for you, and in regular content blinding everyone during a mechanic that can kill people is more likely to wipe the group than using no LB at all. Recovering after an LB3 in something like 24 mans happens literally constantly all day and isn't a problem, but if you wipe a 24 man intentionally using RDM LB3 during a mech, you do deserve to be banned for that, as that's blatantly breaking ToS.

Is there a rule against using LB? If melee was meant to use the LB why didn't they? Can I report them for not using a ability? Etc . . . I do not think a GM would want to go down that route of doling out punishment for using an ability.

I mean I think it falls in the same realm as rescue sure allegedly people have been punished for their use but broadly speaking I am sure those that punt punished are so few are far in between and also prob say something afterwards that incriminated them.

I just do not see SE punishing players without hard evidence not just a pattern. Their history also supports this stance.

It's not about using an ability. There is no reason for them to use it, and then they use it intentionally to kill people. SE does frequently ban people for doing this in other ways, and this is just one more of them that should start being punished if they're not going to make it possible to turn off LB effects.
