I usually use it when the boss is at 8~10% especially if its a new boss to me or the party keeps dying a lot/new to the mechanics cause i will regret using it if we wipe at 1~3% and healer cant lb3.

Sometimes I forget, sometimes there isn't any use for a caster LB and sometimes I'm just having too much fun with my rotation to interrupt it. Boss is at 15% and I have over 80 white and black mana? It's going to melt with or without LB.

last time i used sam lb3 half my team wiped on v3 like 10 seconds after. so i uh, wait until it's very low
There's usually another melee DPS or I'm playing as Bard.
Before the dungeon run I tell dps to use lb or I will use tank lb every time. And in all my runs dps use it
Because it's not necessary and I'd rather keep DPSing.
I wouldn't care though if you use the tank LB, so it wouldn't really affect me. I would say big whoop use it. I am not one you challenge or threaten with something because I will call your bluff or action even if it fucks me over.
I always forget to LB, but that's because I tank more than I DPS, and since tanks never get to use theirs, well... xD
It's easy to forget about it once you finally get to DPS for a change ^^
There's no happy medium is the problem...
when i'm a dps I always seem to get paired with dps that waste it at the worst times. second boss of that dungeon at 4% hp go go melee lb.....
makes me just face palm when I could have used the caster lb on the last big set of trash....
or a melee that knocks out lb1 at the start of the last boss in sohm al hard the instant it dings. when ideally I would have used the caster one to kill the second set of adds instantly.....
any number of places where it would be great to use a lb. but I cant cos my fellow dps has wasted them...
When i'm a tank or healer though. total opposite. Hey guys LB3 is up you might wanna use it....
guys.... guys..... guyyyysssssss.
boss gets to 1% hp LIMIT BREAK and dead before the LB even hits....
did omega 1 earlier as still needed a drop from that one. lb3 was up for well over half that fight no one used it. honeslty could have used 2 of them.... in the end I did tank lb3 at 4% because it was obvious no one else was going to use it....
the healers lolled. the dps flipped a freakin lid cos I wasted it....
Does the boss jump regularly? If so, I won't LB since I do not know the timings for the jumps and will not risk a missed LB.
Is it a boss that has a tendency of near-wipe the raid when its on low HP? Something like Diabolos in Dun Scaith? Then I won't LB. Best saved for a Healer LB or the finishing blow. Not to mention using LB on a 24-main raid boss is equivalent to a tickle.
Is it a 24-man raid? I will LB as soon as its up (at 3) unless the above conditions apply.
Is it a dungeon? If I am a caster I will LB if tank is over his/her head with mass pulling and pray that it kills a few of the mobs. I will LB if I am a melee DPS as soon as it hits 3 unless conditions 1 and/or 2 apply. I will not LB as a healer, such a thing should not be needed even if paired with bads.
Is it PvP? Dude, go caster, bind multiple targets in place and let her rip. Have you ever had multiple caster LBs hit while enemies have been bound or heavy? Its glorious!
