Class-Specific Limit Breaks

[ckc22]

I'd rather have this than being systematically kicked from groups because my classes particular "flavour" is dog poo.

Then remove all jobs we only need 4: melee dps, ranged dps, tank, healer.

And therein lies your problem. And thanks for the Hyperbole, makes it easier.

Just because different classes have almost the same efficiency doesn't mean the road to the result is the same. E.g you cant tell me with a straight face that SMN and BLK, the Caster dps, are anything alike.

Anyone who isn't a DPS class probably wants to see their cool new animation sometime. Due to the offensive focus of the game, people almost never get to see the tank or healer limit breaks. If you're on the bleeding edge of content, you might see them more often, but DPS(specifically MDPS) always gets to hammer their cool limit break button while tanks and healers look at the bar forlornly, and since LB3 only comes up in 8 man content it's much harder to justify blowing it just to see what it does, for once.

I think op wants player specific limit breaks where each the limit break gauge is attched to the player rather than the party which I agree with.

My lb3 as Astro is really pretty. Only get to see it when things go.. Less than as planned.

The issue isn't that classes have almost the same efficiency, its that they have toolkits that have reskinned/renamed versions that are the exact same as other classes, one only need to look at Astrologian to see the worst offender.

Whether you like it a or not, AoE LB has had its uses in encounters in the past.

Also I wish people were more willing to LB trash dungeons.

I believe the point is that healer/tank LBs don't ever get used unless shit goes south.

[FoxyAreku]

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.

Oh please, tell me how AST is a carbon copy of WHM. What do you mean they have the same very basic toolkit and split off at a certain point. I.E Raw healing power and damage dealing for WHM and Support RNG buffs and pre fight adaptability for AST. Almost like they 2 classes have the same efficiency (jury's still out on AST) but have different flavours.

But no. They both have a Cure 1+2, AoE heal, Esuna and a raise variant. They must be exact same class. GG well played.

I few weeks back a I was doing a trial roulette on my whm and it started to go south. Was the first and only time I've ever used my LB3 as a Healer (I didn't even have it on my bar I use it so little) and man was it awesome. I have yet to see a tank LB3.

I'd love a way to at the very least see the LBs because I generally only ever see a drk or the occasional blm and smn out in the wilds.
