Why are ranged using LB so much now?

[LaylaTsarra]

Melee DPS have exactly 5 seconds once that LB bar hits 3 to use their LB.

If they don't I'm doing it because machinist's limit break is awesome and I never get to see it. ; w ;

Well you must be doing something wrong because there aren't always melee in my parties and I use mine whenever I have the opportunity. I use it when appropriate and I'll be the first to agree that it's annoying when a melee just sits on their LB and doesn't use it when I'm sitting back waiting on them. I often lament however just how weak our ranged limit break is especially against a boss.

Often times I'll want to get my DoT's up before LB'ing (just so I have some extra damage ticking), or likewise it's just not safe or intelligent to use the LB at that spot (as I'm expecting a telegraphed attack.)
