Tanks LB and the prime directive

I wish there was a mechanic in which you needed to tank LB3 to survive it. I've wanted to press that button and it be a good thing for a long time now.

You needed tank LB3 or at least LB2 back in T13 to survive Teraflare (the ultimate Bahamut move that pretty much caused the calamity in Eorzea). With LB2 everyone was super low HP after the attack. LB3 with Sacred Soil + shields on everyone almost negated it. I also remember one time popping a second tank LB3 to take the 4th Akh Morn solo when my PLD mate was dead. Tank LB3 is man mode damage mitigation.

I remember when FCoB just released having to pop tank LB2 to survive Nerve Cloud in T11 too, tho the gear permitted to stop doing that and instead save LB for melee LB3.

Edit : Said Nerve Gas instead of Nerve Cloud.

I never did those turns QQ. Well at least it was required once, this brings me joy! Every turn I've done while requires DPS LB or go home. I mean you can clutch it once you overgear, but part of the initial strat never had the pleasure.

Hahaha I remember doing progression on Twintania and thinking LB3 was the only way to survive profusion (I dunno I think that's the name of it)....turns out I should just pay attention to the floor more :P.

I personally refer to it as the great wall of Eoreza
