Get rid of SAM Limit break gimmick already (FL)

When did guard stop working against samurai LB?

I have guard up for 2-3 seconds and I still get 1 shot (happened like 3x in past month). As a bard i can't just stop my cast shot from casting by moving and my aoe does what it wants but I hold that.

Guard has never worked against SAM LB. If you want to play MCH/BRD against a SAM you have to have a keybind that cancels your cast or the SAM can always just chiten half way into your cast and kill you 100% of the time unless you can quickly bind them and then get behind a wall for couple of seconds

I don't think there is any meaning to discuss this issue further.
As long as you are the type that don't pay attention to your surrounding; the SAM LB will kill you; and people with better situation awareness will never understand why people is having trouble with SAM LB.
It is just pointless of ranting until patch 7.1 as next big major PvP tune up.

I specifically said guard when referring to the WHM burst linked in the earlier post. For SAM LB specifically you just want to recognize if their LB is ready and if they use Chiten, which is more proactive than reactive but it is doable.

"recognize if their LB is ready"
In frontline? Would you care to elaborate.

use your eyes

The point is this is a Frontline thread, and you cannot see an enemy gauge inside of Frontline without cheating but thank you for not adding anything of any worth.

Only if you start to use your brain before posting first.

I kinda did got off topic and started referring to CC when a guy posted the WHM burst video meant for CC. For FL, I still think you can recognize when a SAM is going to do their LB with just seeing their buffs and just recognizing the behavior of someone trying to set up an LB. It's a lot harder in that environment though, and it's still very clear it was never designed for FL at all.

The ability to observe and situation awareness is not something can pass from one to another through use of words.
This is why I said there is no point of continue this discussion.
People like you do not understand how to observe SAM's behavior pattern to determine whether this SAM has LB ready or not.
People that has ability to tell by observation can't not hold your hand and walk you through every scenario.

If you still thinks that SAM has issue but you just not realized that you are just part of loud minority.
I can ensure you, your only resolution is to adopt and learn to anticipate because this LB is working as intended until next major PvP tuneup in which is 7.1
