Why do people save LB till the end of the fight?

[TroySoFab]

I think most people just forget about it, or they think someone else will use it. On the rare occasion I play as dps for something I usually forget about LB.

Real talk ?
Because I don't trust pugs and to be fair, I don't trust myself.

In my worst moments, I was the guy that mess up chains on cerberus or accidently turn hair sword lady onto the entire platform. Everyone has a bad day, but imho if it's not savage, dps LB3 is not required.
Yes, I have been playing since HW why do you ask.

Especially in like very easy trails/raids.

In dungeons too. Like why not use caster/range lb3 on a large group of mobs instead of saving it for the boss, the lb would do more damage to a large group of mobs than it would do on a single target.

LBs are tactical for a reason.

Because I’m usually playing as a tank or healer and my need to press the lb3 is almost nonexistent. With the exception of maybe an almost party wipe. So when I’m on a dps job, I honestly just tend to forget about it.

If I'm in a party that's doing poorly, I'll usually hold it until I feel it's safe for me to use the DPS one vs say a lvl 3 Healer LB. But if we're doing well, I'll use it as soon as it's safe so we can possibly get another level 1 or 2 one before the end of the fight.

Sadly, LB damage is like 1% of an Ex-Trial boss health, so most groups could probably safely ignore it and still be fine.

[Almagnus1]

Because at any point after lb3 if the healers can’t stay alive, and keep in mind they love dying in normal modes, you’ll get blamed for the wipe.

It's like you use an LB you're wrong. You don't use it your wrong. Someone else uses it you're wrong.

I often play casters/ranged so I never think about LB since a melee would user priority. When I do plan to use it I like to wait cause I want it to be my final move so I can gpose with it.
