Noobie question on when and how to use IB properly

[Steady]

question and stuff.

Well, at those levels, it's really whatever you want. Ideally you pop Inner Beast during attacks that have a cast time, or when you can anticipate being hit with something big. But it's also a DPS increase since a 300% potency attack that ignores the defiance 25% penalty.

So.. till you hit 50, You can either use it any time you need a self heal, any time you feel like you need a lil boost in defense, or any time you just want to get off a little more damage. Every situation is different. None of the dungeons 35-50 are really so hard that it should matter terribly, but practicing timing it... like maybe with the first boss of Stone Vigil's cast bars... will be good practice down the road.

There's also the option to just stay infuriated and get the 10% crit bonus.
