Limit breaks.

Even if it's just new visuals I hope they allow us to be able to pick different levels of LB at will. Would be nice having a full LB 3 bar and having the option of using LB 2 and LB 1 if we wanted.

I don't care if each job gets its own LB. I just want an LB system that actually presents interesting choices.

Yes I have and still what's your point again? Unless they are unable to do their job right - which in the end is a bad player not a lack of LB it has no bearing on how fast things die 90% of the time.

I agree with Asny bard heal LB is amazing especially if you think of the heal LB 3 heavy shiva fight. The time i loose as a healer during the stupid endless animation makes the party (or atleast tank) die again before i can cast any spell if the other healer isnt good (sadly nowadays healers can dps but rarely heal) so if bard is up which is pretty common due to mobility and defence combination bard can save my day ^^

Like the idea of SMN Lb as it is pretty odd to have a book user pull out a staff for LB >.< and SMN is DOT DOT DOT <3

This is correct. All fights in this game were designed in such a way that they are doable without the use of any Limit Break.

If a party absolutely needs a DPS limit break to kill something, they have bad DPS.
If a party absolutely needs a DPS limit break to make a run go 5 seconds faster, they are lazy.
If a party WANTS a DPS limit break for the sole reason of convenience, but can easily do without, then that's the only legitimate use of it.

So far I prefer to use a LB over trying to burn at T5 snakes (and if u melee lb Asclepius), T8 (annoys me) and T9 Heavensfall (3rd is a pain XD). But as mentioned there is in the fights i know no NEED for LB. And the 2 bard issue if dungeons only so if you NEED LB there something is wrong ^^

Having a DPS with a "we're all gonna die!" oh crap button is really helpful as if the healer gets major agro or ganked by an agro free attack that BRD healing might just be what is needed to finish the fight... Summoners can try to fill in if necessary, but physick really isn't the most effective all on its lonesome..

Red mage/Time mage LB should be a 30sec STOP spell for everything in sight except for the caster of the LB and someone else.

If it's a healer, he/she can Rez and put the whole party back on their feet in 30sec.
If it's a DPS, he/she can deal a LOT of damage in 30sec.

All this if RDM/TMM aren´t capable to Rez. If they are, the second person on the stop is unnecessary.

OP, but why do you want Monk to have a DoT? That's not really how Monks play. I think it'd be a better fit in terms of fitting the job's playstyle, as Zedd702 said, to give a LB that deals a combo of attacks that each hit for a smaller potency.

The Limit Breaks should stay as they are, but change the name and animation to fit the class that uses it. A Monk, Ninja and Dragoon all using a Buster Sword is quite odd to me.
