If you want to use the tank LB, you should ask SE to instead make them important in fights.

Because it requires a meter to fill up before it's used, as opposed to being able to use it whenever, and it fills up whenever actions are taken, not automatically over time. I mean hell, by your logic, Limit Breaks in previous Final Fantasy titles weren't really Limit Breaks either.

And Warriors need to build up Wrath, and Ninja's need to do signs beforehand, and Summoners and Scholars need to have Aetherflow available, and Monks need to be in the proper stance, and so many melee abilities are chained off of others.

Again, the only thing you're doing is putting a longer cooldown on it.

Are you suggesting the LB system is actually something good or fun? I think it's terrible. I've never even gotten to use my LB.

So what exactly is the relevance of this comment?

You seem to be against a changing of the LB system. I don't see why, since the LB system sucks.

Oh, I don't mind it being changed, so that all jobs have the opportunity to use their LBs. But if you just make them individual LBs you might as well just remove the system since they'll just be regular abilities on a long cooldown.

Then I shall just detail how they're different from regular abilities.

You'll have to build up your LB. This could go up at a different rate for different actions for each job.

Example, healers would mainly build it up through healing (no overhealing), damage would build it up to a lesser extent. Tanks through tanking, so an offtank not tanking would build it up slower. DPS through damage, BRD, potentially having a unique support LB, could build it up through using songs.

And there are still different levels to the ability depending on how high you charge it up, making it unlike our other abilities.
