    I'd just be happy for a reason to use anything regularly that isn't melee dps lb.

    Mage LB had/has some pretty nice uses

    Caster LB gets used all the time too. In my raid static, during progression, this is how we used our LBs:

    Melee:
    • Garuda EX
      Ifrit EX
      Moogle EX
      Ramuh EX
      Shiva EX
      T1
      T2
      T7
      T11
      T13
    Caster:
    • Titan EX
      Leviathan EX
      T4
      T5
      T6
      T8
      T9
      T10
      T12
      A1s
      A2s
    Tank
    • Ultima Ex
      T13

    I can't comment on A3s and A4s as we haven't done them yet, but there is a good mix of LB use between melee and caster in progression, which some would argue, is where it matters. Now as for that BRD LB... yea I'll agree that might as well not exist or be reverted back to the Heal LB for Lv3. I also agree the Tank LB could use something of a buff, I'm just not sure how. A did see a Tank LB used effectively in certain situations though, like on last boss of WoD, last boss of Haukke Manor HM, and Garuda Ex.

    Lucrezia used healer LB3 as a legit strategy for A4S.

    I think the worst offender now is how bad the LB is in Seal Rock for Healers and Tanks, but awesome for all forms of DPS. I'd really like it if you could 'unlock' an LB type and choose it as you see fit instead of being conformed to what your class is normally good for, especially since in PvP it just throws those notions right out the window.

    It's perfect how it is. The LBs should /never/ have varying effects, because people will just pick out the one that does the most damage or has the 'best' effect and boom, that class is now mandatory in every static and no one else is allowed to limit break.

    You mean like how right now only DPS are allowed to limit break? You mean mandatory classes like how SE is actually FORCING players to use a formulaic party setup in essentially all content?

    More so, "You don't raid so you'll probably not see the situation where it is useful come up, may as well try it out somewhere else".

    Yes, that's how it works. All the LBs do the same potency for a reason. I love how your confusing logic sees one class being the only person able to limit break is somehow better than every DPS class limit breaking, though.

    Also, of course, the 'best case scenario' LB, being melee DPS currently, will always be what people default too. This would not change with this thread's idea, and it would actually be made worse as stated above because it would be simplified to only the class with the 'best' result being allowed.

    It's not even a big deal though, as a healer I use my LB and save runs all the time, and there were at least 3 fights in coil where the tank LB could be used. The tank LB could be more useful certainly, but everything else is pretty perfect and shouldn't be tampered with.

    You're so overly hostile btw, it's adorable.
