LIMIT BREAK: It Needs A Re-Work

I want LB to be able to use more often in dungeons for coolness factor. One bar should be filled by the time you hit each boss so players can choose to use on the boss or the subsequent trash pull, and the third boss fight should fill up the second bar when the boss is like 10-20% HP left for the finishing strike.


This should only applies in dungeons, of course.

I just use LB1 on CD regardless of role. The 0.5% finishing move is the most boring thing ever.

If anything one thing I never see people do in dungeon, which saves way more time than a 5% melee lb on boss, is caster/ranged LB on trash pulls.
I remember the fun of using caster LB on the last pull of Anyder, but even in just any normal dungeons it's good to use.

In no-trash settings it's true that often a ranged or caster uses it instead of a melee, which can be annoying if you're the melee, but better than nobody using it and just wasting it, as it often happens.

As for advanced content, knowing who and when should use LB is something too complex to put in a simple sprout tutorial.

The new starter guide tells people that Ninjas should use the LB.

In other words, it was mentioned but it wasn't covered.

I disagree. It's not even remotely complex.
Maybe if you've never played a videogame before. Maybe..

Have to admit, I rarely use it. Partly due to being told off for using it inappropriately in a Raid when I was newer and less experienced.

The only time I tend to really use LB (particularly as a Bard) is when, for example, it has gone 'unused' and looks as if no-one else is going to utilise it, and the boss is on its proverbial last legs; Alzadaal's Legacy for example - I'll happily use LB(II) there, if no-one else has, to finish the weakened final boss off.

For me, LB is an unnecessary mechanic. Someone uses it once in a dungeon when the last boss has 2% health. Seriously, if they would remove it, i would not miss it.

Limit break doesn't need a rework. It's fine as is. It's already as easy as it can get. Push one button. What more do you want from them? And you have bigger problems if you feel the need to save an LB3 for the healers in a nier raid. Where is this "rough phase" you describe? A lb3 shouldn't be saved for healers if you can avoid it. Also sitting on an LB3 for an extended period of time is a waste, though he shouldn't be getting angry and yelling at people for not using it, he wasn't wrong.

LB somewhat aids in supplementing for lack of/ bad dps. If they took LB many more groups would rag on ppl for not playing so great. Not really that noticable in dungeons. But in higher end content an LB can be the difference between an enrage and a kill.

Healer LB1 and LB2 are essentially useless due to the fact that our normal kit is nearly the same strength or better. The only good Healer LB is LB3 and even then, I call it the suicide LB as I have to stand there for nearly 10 seconds due to the animation lock.
