Yay! Possible New Bard LB

[HakuroDK]

This can work, just add another bar to the Limit Break bar and give the individual Limit Break its own skill icon.

I'd rather just ditch the party Limit Break altogether since, traditionally, Limit Breaks are meant to be singular.

Yeah, but then what exactly makes those limit breaks different from your normal abilities?

I think it's more likely that they're just giving each job a different animation for Limit Breaks.

I would personally LOVE it if Summoner get's an epic primal summoning for their limit break based on the avatar they have out. Get Ifrit to break out Inferno, Titan to use Earthen Fury and Garuda to use Aerial Blast. Oh, and 'Highwind' for Dragoon...

...do I dare to dream?

The difference is that some individuals who are usually not allowed to use their limit breaks (Tanks, largely) could be able to use their limit breaks. There's a similar system in DCUO. Each player has a meter they fill. Once it fills a certain amount, they can activate their "Overcharge" ability, depending on which it is. It doesn't really break anything as it is just as hard to fill the Overcharge meter as it is to fill the Limit Break meter (the only difference being that the Overcharge meter starts at whatever you had before you started rather than at 0 before every boss fight).

I would love, as a tank, to be able to use a defensive Limit Break to protect people without getting yelled at for wasting LB that the Melee DPS or Healers could have used instead. Not that I ever do that, I know better. But I would love the opportunity to hit the Limit Break button and put up a massive shield around the entire party for a few seconds so a couple of fool dps don't cause a wipe due to not getting out of what is normally an OHKO AoE.

Yeah, I remember them saying a while back they were going to revise the system to at least give unique animations.

Ninja's using Bravery and Final Heaven might have been the final push the design team needed to see to think 'Yeah, this doesn't make a lot of sense.'

I'm glad.. Ive been waiting a long time for this to happen. As the Yoshi/devs did say they were going to revamp the LB system so each Job had their own unique LB, from lvl 1,2 & 3. Can't wait.

If Bard gets their own limit break it has to be one of two things;

1) Support limit
2) AoE limit that is explicitly weaker than mage one

I vote for Support Limit. Historically, a Bard's final learned ability is "Hero's Rime", which is a very powerful support ability that increases all attributes of all party members by a certain amount.

Stuff

But again, how would that be different than any of your regular abilities? Your suggestion just turns party LBs into an ability with a long cooldown.

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

[Azper]

I vote for an individual limit break system. It's kind of boring/not fun to almost always exclusively reserve the LB for the DPS. Tanks and healers get the shaft. -_-

[Ecks007]

Nobody remembers when tanks LB'd before Garuda's Aerial Blast? No? Oh, okay.
