i did a bit of limit break damage testing.

mage/bard limit break is AOE

Longer attack range, but narrow.

It's easier to hit more targets with the mage LB, so why does it do more damage than the narrow ranged LB? That honestly makes no sense to me.

on top of the mage limit being easier to aim since you do not need to adjust your character to line up the targets.

That's what I'm saying!

Last I knew it was based on weapon damage and your level and BRD/MCH have the lowest weapon damage in the game by quite a large margin.

It really could do with being slighty increased imo.

Dex ranged are just getting screwed over atm it seems.

It's based on the group's average weapon dmg (Edit - or weap ilvl actually i think), not the one casting the lb.

Last I knew it was based on weapon damage and your level

Actually, it's based on the average iLevel of the party if I'm not mistaken. I'm curious to see the OP's testing data, because if the party composition wasn't the exact same each time, (IE: Same players, and no one upgraded any gear or equipped lower gear for spirit bonding), then their test data is flawed....

That being said, as a MCH, I only LB if either the situation calls for it, (IE: Adds are spread out and need to be killed, but I can line it up to hit the boss as well), or if we reach the point that it's pointless to save the LB but no one uses it because they're so used to someone else using it, (IE: LB will kill the boss, and we'll have more than enough time to recharge the bar before the next one). It's rare that I'm not in a party with a melee of some kind though, so for the most part my LB goes unused....

It's based on the average WD of the whole party, not the LB caster. It's been tested where they changed the parties weapons, to lower ilvl and the LB caster used the higher ilvl.

I prefer Range because it hits multiple people in PvP and it works with my Macro.
