the useless of the Mage DPS LB

[Nexxus]

It wont touch anyone as there is time to exit the lb, unlike melee lb where you have almost no way to avoid it.
As a rdm i dont have nothing to stun/bind/gravity/sleep people.

So i would suggest to change how it work, here's an idea:

After launching Mage LB, the meteor will pop up 5-10s after the "red circle" disapear.
Making it more difficult to avoid, but not impossible to thoses that have kept an eye on it.

I use it for decoration and on ice because it's gotten more useless since lack of cc

I'm finding the BLM LB is quite useful on the last boss of Bardam's Mettle were you are having to target both of its wings and there is a AOE going around the outside

this is pvp bro, not pve

That's almost funny, except that we have no chat in PvP so clearly that's not the reason.

And yet I regularly see 4+ people hit by it.

If you can get them stuck where they are, yes they're gonna be hit but let's be honest, you see a giant red circle at your feet, you move asap !

Honestly it's fine, you just need to adapt. The damage is trash, so the primary purpose of it now is the vuln up debuff. You'll want to just wait for your target to get hit with any sort of cc (stun, heavy), just start a cast themselves, or be committed to an attack and not in retreat mode, then LB them. They won't be able to get out of it in time, you get your debuff, and then you can go nuts.

If you want to hit multiples then the best use I've found is to wait for the enemy team to be focusing you, pop Safeguard, and LB right on top of yourself. This hits tank and melee 9/10. Don't do this in FL or 8v8 obviously, but 4v4 you can tank the damage just fine for that brief window.

Does the Mage LB Combo trick still work?
