    A new player that know what zenos' sword is or WoD mechanics would also likely understand that LBs do different things.

    I think the biggest problem right now with LBs is when people forget to use them, or do and others get uppity. I've seen people lose their minds when a tank uses LB2 at 1% of a boss HP bar because it's "useless". neverminding the fact the boss would have died before any DPS LB would have gone off. I've even been personally yelled at because I dared to use Caster LB1 on trash mobs because I need to "save it for the melee on bosses".

    I just think we should give new players a LITTLE more credit that they understand there are different types of LBs and then explain how each is used/perceived as well. Thats before we even get into the not so new players that go back and forth between caster and physical ranged potency. There's help and discussion to be had here, for sure.

    One problem with PUGs is you are never really sure where you'll end up as far as mob size. I try to use LB but the rest of the group doesn't or can't always run things to take advantage of it.

    well you did waste it on trash mobs -_- It is a bit of a waste. ever consider the tank may or may not been practicing for a large pull and surviving it? Communication goes a long way dude.

    Lb is a group thing, not a solo player thing. wasting it is just that a waste, it is better served used on a boss.
