Lucrezia used healer LB3 as a legit strategy for A4S.

Which is only part of the reason that this game will die to homogenization.

The overwhelming focus on keeping everyone the same means the jobs have little to no flavor.

If this suggestion is done, we would be seeing treads about X class gets left out in raids because their LB3 sucks for it. Can't make everybody happy.

I would've liked if ranged LB wasn't functionally inferior to caster in every single aspect, but eh. At least we do have a damage lb so double BRD/MCH in 4 man dungeons isn't denied a damage LB. I would've liked for it to be more, if not at least the same, damage as caster LB considering the effective range is much much more limited than a caster's in every scenario.

There are days when I wish I could view them in the inn or something..without having to hope a battle ends with someone forgetting to use a LB3 so I can use it just to watch the animation. xD

I agree ^^;
Also, since you only have three bars of LB when you have a full party currently in combat with a final boss of an instance, you lose that third bar the moment the battle ends. So no LB3 for your viewing pleasure, unfortunately.

Being able to see the full LB3 animation at the inn would be a really nice feature. Because even when it's an LB you see used more often, you don't always have time to pause what you're doing to actually look at it ^^; Especially if it's not you doing the LB.

I only do Duty Finder stuff. I have seen Dragoon and Ninja LB3 but never anything else.

I don't even know what my own LB3 looks like.

I would rather have a usable limit break over a bit of flavor. I think the visuls for LB3 are flavor enough. Except DRK LB3, how is that thing supposed to protect me? O.o

I'd rather have this than being systematically kicked from groups because my classes particular "flavour" is dog poo.

I think the worst offender now is how bad the LB is in Seal Rock for Healers and Tanks, but awesome for all forms of DPS. I'd really like it if you could 'unlock' an LB type and choose it as you see fit instead of being conformed to what your class is normally good for, especially since in PvP it just throws those notions right out the window.
