I highly doubt you are running those same bosses "99%" of the time.99% of the time, if a non-dps tells you to "LB!!!!!!" (and it is ALWAYS tanks or healers telling the dps to) you will either be dead (e.g. Titan landslide while in the LB animation) or the target will disappear before the damage gets applied (e.g. Siren, Garuda) or the timing is not correct to skip a phase (e.g. Brayflox HM).
Chances are, if someone is asking you to use it, you should have already used it at that point.
Because theres a lot of players that suck, especially dps players
How dare anyone communicate in game!!!!
It makes me beyond annoyed as a Bard that I don't have a DPS Limit Break and some melee is just sitting there with full LB bar for 50% of the fight, they honestly could have LB'd twice during that time... Oh, the frustration.![]()
Love how people say;
... really? I've seen more stupid tank pulls, waste of heals/no heals at all than a dps using LB wrong. Us dps could very well yell out "pull now" but we don't, or "heal tank" for that matter.
Very often people overestimate the damage the lb deals, not to mention on the late game dungeons. Like the last boss in Longstop, it's not a good thing to lb too early and most dps classes know. If you suddenly yell out "LB NOW" while the dps is trying to get it right that doesn't help.
My favorite is when in a 4-man with 2 Bards and the tank starts flipping out with LB!!!!! OMG!
In those cases... you're right and I forgot to mention it. It's important to evaluate the DPS before attempting to skip phases in a fight.
I don't mind the occasional "LB" message in party chat. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I don't notice how quickly we've been killing the boss. Sometimes I'm already casting it when the person reminds me. In any case, I don't mind it. I'd rather have someone remind me to use it than to forget about it entirely.
Also, I always appreciate it if there's a time when a non-melee LB should be used, that it's addressed before the fight begins. Also, if there's a specific time when I should use the melee LB, I usually mention it before the fight (like in Brayflox HM, I'll say before the fight that I plan to use the LB to kill the boss before the last bomb phase).
Communication is key, people.
