Refusal to LB3

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

Does it hurt your DPS to cast LB3? Does it give you a debuff or something? Is it a huge burden to ask someone to use it? What's going on here? Why are people refusing to use it?

LB3 locks you in place for roughly ten seconds: 4 to cast, 4 for the animation, and 2 afterwards that don't really let you move or attack. So if it's used at the wrong time, the caster will die and the Lb will whiff. Also, MNKs should NEVER LB3. Doing it almost guarantees they'll lose GL3. From what I remember, LB3 priority goes SAM-NIN-DRG-MNK as far as melee goes.

You need it on Susa Ex. As a healer, I don't even bother with LB3.

Your DPS are just bad in that case. I've cleared Susex without using a DPS LB3, but I have seen a healer LB3 swing our momentum around to a clear from flubbed mechanics.

Melee dps LB3 is just a luxury when you have semi competent DPS.
