Feedback: (Melee) Limit Break

Attunement has to be used before the cast bar for "Raw Destruction" even appears, or it will not register in time. No melee in their right mind would use an LB when you're standing in sacred prism. Things like Testudo, tank LB, etc. will often not register before the attack goes off, resulting in a failure to reduce the damage taken.

I play healer and run 2 fending also, and can say a melee LB at full hp (on WHM) will put me down to about 200-300 hp. This is recoverable...IF NOBODY IS ATTACKING ME AFTERWARDS. I live through melee LB 95% of the time I get hit by it if I've got no heavy medal stacks, it is the damage afterwards that kills me, because I have no answer for the following burst when I just had to pop one, if not several healing CDs just to recover from it.

what i'm saying is with the right timing those things can save you but as you pointed out they literally have to activate at the exact time a lb is activated. and as you pointed out your buggered if someone else hits you. also you burn cool downs just to recover. i thought the point of the changes to HP interruption was that people didnt have to take tank accessory but its still very much mandatory for healers to do so regardless of the change. hell I still see almost all blk mages and summoners taking at least 1 tank accessory.

seems the process wasn't thought out very well. in all honesty id even be happy if they made it a longer cast time to match Ranged lb. just doesnt seem right that one is easy to interupt while to other is near impossible if the player knows what they are doing.

if im playing devils advocate saying that, it doesn't make the game uneven. both teams have someone capable of melee Lb. its basically just a case of it being extremely unfair on the person getting hit by one.

The right timing? You mean about ~1 second timing?
