I know when to use LB, thanks

[Ddmk]

What I find funny is people always get angry at the melee dps for not using LB on the last boss, but I never see anyone angry at the 1-5 minutes a black mage could save by using on a large pull after the first boss in breyflox, whilst still getting the last boss LB. But, what do I know, I'm just a dps. I don't have the high skills and IQ of a tank or healer.

Except if you have a lb at big pull after 1st boss your doing something wrong

Because, contrary to what you might think, no one else in the game cares about you enough to know your personal history. They don't know how much experience you have and their experience is telling them that a certain thing should have already happened or should being happening soon. The only way to verify that things will happen the way one imagines they should happen is to talk to the people involved... IE tell the DD to LB.

Who reads party chat these days anyway?

you trust the person playing.

This makes me think that you haven't done so much dungeons, or you'll know that you can't trust anyone playing

And yeah, you don't need lbs. That's why sometime I remember to the DPS that lb's do exist. Cause most of them don't use them and let them go to waste.

HAHA This! I hate it in Leviathan EX when people are like "LB". I've done this fight a good number of times, I know when the caster LB is needed. Half the time I'm positioning the LB and they're all like "LB LB LB" in chat. Have faith in me guys, have faith.

The thing is, people like to save an LB and never use it sometimes. I've gone through entire dungeons where we only used the LB at the final boss because I was Tank or something. If I'm a DD, I use it at the beginning of the fight if the bar will not extend to 2, or if we do a big pull on something. There's no reason to hoard it like it's a 5 minute cooldown like Hallowed Ground. I even see some Healers never use Shroud of Saints at all and they get enmity from AoE healing. It's kinda awkward when you ask them "you have Shroud of Saints right? Because you're not popping it when your MP is at 75%, or 50%, or ever. So just wondering..."

Use it, or you literally just waste time storing up something that can't be used.

The more obnoxious thing is that in 90% of all cases, you are already casting the LB.
Apparently they need to make the LB animation even more flashy (maybe change the color of the LB bar while casting or something like that).

Maybe some tanks/healers dont realize that it can take up to 10 seconds from button press to dmg dealt.

In early dungeons especially, people don't even know that limit break is shared between the party. The amount of times I've seen a tank or healer use LB1 on one trash mob for no reason whatsoever.

Heh, I can understand both sides. I main MNK, and use DRG as my tertiary job (go figure), and it's easy to feel mildly patronised when someone's screeching at you to use it when you already are - or worse still when you know it'd be a bad time to use it (Leviathan's about to dive, repelling cannons, weight of the land etc). But at the same time, especially in 4-man dungeons, some DPS do seem to wait way too long before using it - as if it has to be used as late in the fight as possible or something (and some genuinely do just forget). When you're on the last boss of a dungeon, and that 2nd LB bar isn't going to fill by the end of the fight but the wait continues...

So I can understand people calling it out, and I can also understand DPS who know what they're doing feeling condescended by it...should non-dps be so trusting of everyone? Perhaps not...when I'm playing heal/tank I usually give them a bit of time when a LB should be used (if time can be afforded), and if it's still sitting there being wasted then I'll find myself the one calling out for its use :P

As long as people don't get hostile about it I just take it in stride, and if there was a reason for me holding back I'd explain afterwards.

With all the comments here (From tanks and healers, surprise) that DPS players are all so bad, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they're doing it to you lot out of spite.
