    That I get and don't get. Use it when it's up mentality. Depending on the fight I can see the use to use it early, maybe to push a phase. For the most part though on my DPS classes, I chose to use it at the 20% mark or lower.

    Just my 2g

    If you don't need it for a certain phase (Bray HM to avoid the last bomb) then using it as soon as it pops will have the same effect as waiting. You might not get the kill with it from using it early but it is also possible that you will get another LB if you use it right away.

    ^ A thousand times this.... I can't tell you how many times I've watched a dps hold on to an lb like it was a super finisher in Street Fighter......FYI, there will be no sunburst effect when you kill the boss with an lb, that is all....

    Good point, but even now, most of the time you don't need to save it for the bomb. If the DPS is good enough through the duty, I tell em to use it on the boss before that third bomb phase. He dies you win, no big bomb.

    As for getting another LB I can see that, however that takes a bit of time. On a longer fight it would be a good idea, T2 Enrage comes to mind. Pop LB soon as the program executes, then by 20ish percent you have another to finish em off. Those situation call for specific "tactics" of LB use.

    For most runs, using a LB right when it pops might not be the best. Guess it depends on what you are doing.
