    Lb3 animations

    Mostly coz casters/ranged dps never get to use their lb3s in 95% of situations, was wondering what feedback would be to have lb3 animations in place of lb2 in dungeons?

    Not necessarily the lb3 effects (healer mass rez, etc), but it feels kinda unfair that casters/ranged dps rarely ever get to see their animations being used.

    Eh, non-melee LBs have always been situational. You think non-melee classes have it bad? There's like one non-savage fight that involves the tank lb3, outside of that it's never used ever.

    There are situations where the ranged lb is used in content too.

    I dont remember the exact math, but a caster/ranged limit level 1 is more damage with only 3 or 4 enemies then a melee level 3 does. Can be used on dungeon/alliance trash pulls(or certain bosses that summon larger waves of adds) to great effect. Theres a pull in WoD where 6 guys start summoning adds, and ive seen a bard snipe 4 of them and end the casts right away. This is especially useful for alliance trash pulls, because as soon as someone pulls the next boss the gauge will reset to 0 anyway - might as well use it for something right?
