Lack of LB usage in PVP

[Cero0]

The problem is less a lack of party members in range, but more that any alliance worth their salt is going to charge straight for the healers.

The other concern is the cast time for it. The healer is likely to die before they can use it to heal themselves. Or any other party member getting swarmed for that matter.

As i said the lack of party members in range is their own fault, but as i said too making it have better range would be great.the first thing you should say in the party as healer is" dont chase and stay in my range or you wont get heals"

The cast time is super short, if you use it when you have 1k hp left ofc you will die before you can cast it.

Telling people to 'stay in range or you won't get heals' doesn't work. It only works in pre-mades and if you're in pre-made... it all is eventually (or should and if not, get a new pre-made) going to run like a well oiled machine and steam roll enemies reguardless of what the LB is.

And healers shouldn't be responsible for impatient and/or over zealous DDs stretching out beyond their means. <--- + GC restrictions forcing more people to not be with some of their friends but instead with random ppl makes healing a pain + the time to build LB bar + cast time = healer LB feels kinda blah in Seize. Secure n Slaughter were different... less roaming, less spread out, current healer LB made more sense. Seize... nope.

the animation lock is very long though

yeah the animation lock is almost 2 seconds same for the rest of Lbs.Worth waiting for half of ur hp back.

The only thing i would agreed is if they make it has more range.Honestly when i play dps i always try to be close to my healer or i would be fucked, i wont get tired of saying this if they are away fromt the healer is their problem lol or the healer problem coz he doesnt follow his team.

that assuming that everyone else is in range and you dont have enough mp for cure III/medica/etc

If there isnt tonnes of debuffs to remove, it is far safer and faster to cast 3 aoe heal skills instead, if you are a scholar or astrologian then precasting the LB to counter an enemy caster LB is alright, but not really as useful as just shielding the people getting LB'd

And here is where the right moment to use it matters,i usually use it when i dont have anything left, after i blew all my instant skills/equanimity runs out, it always save the day.

Btw i dont want to make a new thread to ask this so i im going ask here, i know weekly reset in lodestone is from monday to sunday, anyone know the exact timing,/hour.

I only healer LB when summoners dot the whole group and then drop caster LB. Healer LB is a double edged sword.

You beat me to it. I hit reply and got a phone call. When this happens with my SCH, I'll use the pet to remove a debuff after in case something else comes up, leaves a heavy SMN party dead in the water when you combine both healer LB and pets. Usually a tank pops theirs and with how fast some summoners tend to go through their stacks to bahamut bomb you...let loose the hordes of DRG's and watch the slaughter begin.
