Limit breaks should all do the same damage

[Sylve]

Except what? If they don't have a melee, use the limit break. Simple, simple, simple.

And sacrifice a large chunk of the damage.
You know, the entire point of the thread?

Imagine a Ravana that has:
BRD
MCH
SMN
BLM

For DPS. This is entirely possible. You now lack a full strength Limit Break that could otherwise have allowed this party setup to beat a DPS check they might have been short of achieving normally.

My idea does not take away from the power of a melee LB, it just allows parties without melee Jobs to be just as effective as those that include a melee.
All this does is not "waste" a Limit Break because one of the ranged really wanted to finally see it in action. It just helps everyone, there are situations when a melee cant reach the target in time to get a proper Limit Break off, Such a change allows for a Ranged to cast it instead.

Hell, why not go the whole way and make the melee Limit Breaks work this way too, since its possible to get DF groups (and even statics) that lack a Ranged Job for AoE purposes.

Point is, everyone wins.

I never said the limit breaks should stay the same. I only said that currently if you have a melee, let the melee use it. If you don't have a melee, use the LB yourself. If you LB on one target while with a melee, you're wasting damage unless the melee is one of those who won't LB at all.
