Limit Break Animation to long for a DPS.

[zdub303]

The animation itself is fine. However, you should probably go invulnerable while executing said action. In PvE at least... I mean come on, its a super powerful limit break!

I went back and fixed the post.

Agreed, should make LB user invulnerable while using LB!

Likely won't happen. I mean, even when Dragoon uses a Jump skill and isn't (technically) in range or even on screen for an enemies attack, they still take damage (and SE said it isn't being changed).

on 2 occasions we wiped on turn 2 because melee wants to LB3 ADS and the LB doesn't connect either because melee died by a laser casting the LB or rot. in both cases we wiped after the animation is triggered. it's not so much that I want the difficulty of managing an LB to be reduced but I want it to be more clear (so maybe a longer cast but in any case the damage should apply immediately after cast) so people don't get mislead.

and yes, even if the melee dps knows how lb3 works it still messes you up when you are in that kind of stressful situation. it's not fun to wipe like that at all.

Has anyone actually timed all of the lvl 3 limit breaks. I swear meteor takes forever. But since its the only one I have casted id say its the longest. long cast time (nope swift cast does not make it instacast) and then im stuck in a darn long animation so using it has to be tactical.

no i did read your post you just changed your post, 147 lvls of grinding and i like the rest of us have learned to compensate for LB and not decide to use Melee LB after the ENTIRE PARTY is dead. duuuuhh if you know you are going to be locked in place you know it takes soooo long to cast why not do it earlier. Hope they dnt have you LB in coil since it is sooo hard for you

The best part of meteor is using it to blind your party from incoming AEs.

Please Stop Trolling Me! You wasn't even there so you don't know what happened. What does me getting locked into place have to do with anything? I edited my post because people were thinking that I was referring to the actual animation itself, and not the delay between the Animation and when the damage is applied. Do you have the hots for me? Are you one of those boys that think cause you pick on a girl that they will like you?

Guess I'll say it again......
"LB2 was ready to go and I popped it, It would have killed the boss but I got hit with Everyone Grudge right as I hit the ground to finish the LB. So wasted the LB which would have killed the boss and SAVED the run".

But I will clarify this for you since you keep going on about it. When the PLD died I was the last person able to LB left alive and since he died it filled the rest of the bar to LB2, I used it "Thinking" it would have killed him but since there is a delay between the animation and the time damage is applied it did ZERO DMG because when I hit the ground (At which point the damage should have been applied) I got killed with EG. If LB2 was ready before the PLD died I would have popped it. But knowing LB1 wasn't enough I didn't use it and then when the PLD died it popped and I decided to try and save the day by using it, It was either die or LB2 and I still died.

Now I'll ask you a questions since idk anything about LBs (Sarcasm). Should I have used Limit Break before both bars were full? Unless LBs do the same amount of dmg before the gauge is filled then no because in my situation LB1 would not have done enough dmg to kill it, LB2 would have been enough to kill him.

And BTW it was my call to use the LB even though it didn't go as I had planned. If that makes me a bad DPS cause I chose to use LB at a bad time then so be it.

just make whoever is lb'ing become invincible during the lock. what's the point of locking them in place making them super vulnerable during an emergency situation? if everyone is dead and the boss can 2 or 3 shot you in the span of the cast time, what's the point of having a panic button that doesn't work? is the point of the lb just to be used in a moderate or successful situation where no one is in the throes of danger? (it's called a limit break for a reason, think about it). I agree with this post SE, please do something.
