    Limit Break [please learn when to use it or tell others when to]

    *boss gets to 20-25% health, a few people dead, and everyone low on health*

    The ones left standing yells out "Monk use LB!"

    Me [Monk] knowing that we'll probably wipe told them I'll use it when it's right [1 shot kill or save it].

    They all responded "Just use it!"

    I'm like okay...*uses LB on boss, down it to 10% health*

    Seconds later we wipe. Wasted a LB. Everyone then proceeds to get mad.

    This happens so often in CM and AK. Some people just can't calculate on when to use it on bosses for 1 shot kill or to save it since the party is going to wipe

    Don't know how this goes for other jobs but have anyone else experience a lot of these lately?

    Hmm stop running CM. And get better people at AK. I can't see why you would need LB in AK at all. Last night I ran with two bards who weren't as geared and managed fine.

    Theres no point "saving" it if a wipe is imminent since LB bars gets reset upon death, asking you to use the LB is a last ditch effort to burst down the boss before they wipe...

    I don't think that's always the case, because after wiping on Garuda HM we still had two bars full and I potentially could've used Starstorm to kick off the fight. The bars empty as soon as the primal gets pulled though.

    If you used the LB before the argument, or thought to use it without being told you possibly would have won.

    This would not have changed the scenario as a Monk. Had the OP been a healer or tank, then maybe that would have made a difference.

    for easy content you should use LB as much as possible whenever its up, you fill up the bar pretty fast later on anyway.

    for hard contents like primal HM there are specific points where an LB are saved for ie: kill nails, adds, heart..etc

    If you start the encounter with it empty, it won't fill fast enough to easily dispatch the bees. But if you don't use it, it'll stay full on your next try.

    In a normal dungeon this is true, for a primal fight, it's not. This is likely what they are referring to. Basically if you wipe and your group ends up in the starting circle again, it will reset when you pull. Otherwise it stays.
