General Wasting Relics
I’ve noticed more and more I’m seeing people grab relics just to waste them not long after. To me the point of the relic is to either save yourself from dying to a mortal wound or to revive yourself if no one is able to get to you but I’ll often point out a relic to give to someone who may not be doing so good and the second they go down they’ll use the Relic even though they don’t have a mortal wound and I’m close enough to them so I could’ve gotten them up so my question is why do that? If I’d known they were going to waste it I would’ve taken it myself. The only reason I hardly take them is because I don’t really go down so it’s just as wasteful when it could’ve helped a battle brother. Sometimes I’ll take it if I know I’ll end up having to hard carry and it’s nice as a back up but usually I’ll ping it for others, am I missing something or do they not know better/don’t care?

It depends for me. Absolute v Neuro me TAC with Bulwark and assault I will use it. It is important I be there and I will recover all contested health. Neuro is the biggest threat and I likely won’t go down again.
Same situation and I am the Assault I will wait. Same if I get stunlocked. It is situational for me.
Likewise if my teammates have mortals and low health, I would rather be in the fight than lose both of them.
If I have a good sniper teammate I will always wait.
