    There's barely any need to even use the LB unless it's a Primal battle, just some emergency situations.

    I feel it's good to save it till a point where you do need it. Rather than having blown it before on something trivial, and then not having it when you do need to use it.

    For instance, i had an interesting Stone Vigil run not too long ago.

    We were fighting the very first boss, naturally no one got hurt and got out of the way, and near the end of the fight with everyone at full HP the White Mage used the Limit Break, and then complained to us endlessly about why we werent using it earlier. Not only did he blow it and we couldnt use it to finish it off anymore, there was no point for it in that fight in the first place, the 5 seconds we would have saved to kill the boss, while no one was even remotely in danger of dying or running out of MP would have been a waste. Less of a waste than the WHM using it because it was up and no one else used it, but hey.

    Long story short, we get tired of argueing with the White Mage, and then when he decides we can go cure ourselves and he wouldnt be doing it anymore, we kicked him. We end up getting through the trash mobs just fine with the three of us. But at the second boss, where we -COULD- have used that LB it wasnt charged up yet and we die with him at 5%.

    So really, why do we save the LB? To use it at a point in time where it can save our party. Not to blow it for an extra few seconds saved going through a dungeon faster.
