My biggest source of stress while tanking.

Drives me bonkers to see that for an entire dungeon, then to have the melee LB when the boss is at 5% HP.

You know, you can always tell them to use it right?

[Reinfeld]

If it was an isolated incident, then yes. And I do sometimes. But it seems to happen through 70% of instances and at least half the time they ignore my request. They just don't care about efficient LB usage

I hope it's not the case but I think some dork-p-s wants to be the star/hero and do the last hit(as if it has any impact on the game. sigh).

My thought is that whenever that LB bar is full and is not used immediately, LB points are wasted.

Yeah, I dunno why people wanna hang onto the LB until you can kill the boss with it.

When I play as DPS, I try to use it any time it's full and appropriate to use.

I've actually had people get mad at me for it. xD

[rawker]

Indeed. If properly utilized, you can use LB twice in a single boss run which will make the fight shorter.

Depending on the instance (assuming you mean dungeons/trials) a L1 lb is a dps detriment, and chances are the L2 lb that just kills you to see, wasnt charged till whatever you are fighting was around 8-12% by the time it goes off there is 0 gain in speed from overkill and increases exposer to dmg from rooting, which is the higher risk in that case.

Their is more to when to use a lb then just hey its lit up must smash crossed swrds button.

Ps my biggest pet peave seeing tanks demand lb be used regardless of timing or benefit. I pitty the other dps who get smashed for giving in to this.

I keep telling myself to make a macro. But alas keep forgetting to.

[Ele_Pls]

If they don't use it by 2%, then I'm gonna use it, lol.

[TouchandFeel]

If that is your biggest stress as a tank, consider yourself lucky

But yeah I see this more often than not, or it is used at the last moment when it really is pointless, like 3% or less.

I feel this is just because of tunnel-visioned dps that are not paying attention.
