    I'm pretty sure I don't do 20k+ damage in the time it takes me to use a LB, even if I had all my buffs going, and I make sure to use lb when my buffs are down, so I'm replacing a lull in my DPS with the massive spike that is the lb. Monks might be able to argue in favor of not wanting to lb, but that's only because of Greased Lightning.

    Its party dps not your personal dps, or honestly do you think any parsers are like, omg that guy did 500 more dps than anyone else cause he used the LB?

    Every raid uses their worst dps to LB, this is what I mean.

    I'm sure for personal reasons (like BotD and GL dropping, timer issues) many players would LOVE to have someone else LB.

    Except if they like the animation. Which, you know, I do, I wanna use it. Also SMN can LB while losing pretty much zero personal dps.

    This was just a fun suggestion guys, it isn't really meant to be a "this needs to happen" or completely balanced or anything.

    I mentioned that it would make sense for caster LB to split damage because otherwise you would only ever use caster LB (not that I mind =P) and we'd have the reverse problem.

    Maybe we could make it so that melee LB cleaves nearby targets. Ranged/caster AoE splits between all targets, but with an increased potency per target.

    So melee would be used for clumped up adds, ranged/caster for spread out, and for single target you could use any.
