Sort of depends on the ability that you are using and the spirit you are fighting. Such as a damage ability or a stopper,  And also depends on if you are likely to end up hurting more if you dont get it off sooner.

The only time that i might is the stoppers because if they are close to load when you do the ability, it might go off in time to stop them before they get their attack off due to the order of attacks. Since the bar keeps loading when spirits attack, except when they are using an ability.

If you are using one of those Decrease energy abilities though, you need to make sure they have enough bar to be loaded before you do the ability, but not enough that they will still get their attack off before your ability works. Otherwise its just a waste of time.

Of course, those examples are based more on they enemy's bar, not allies. More often than not, i wait until my allies fill up, then use the ability. Unless the enemy spirit is about to do something that might might screw me over first if i dont use it sooner.
