Halp! When to Use DPS Limit Breaks?

[Raldo]

Everyone's answers are good, so I won't rehash them. I do have a couple extra things to add, however.

1) I'm generally on bard. If we're on the last boss and the other person is a melee DPS and we've been sitting on LB2 for a good 20+ seconds, I'll go ahead and use it. Far too often I see people just not use it at all.

2) If you have to choose between multiple people (of the same LB type) to execute the LB, it's better to have the weaker/undergeared person use it. This is because LB damage is based off of the sum of the entire party's weapons, so the weaker person would do the same damage as the stronger one, all the while you're letting the stronger person continue to do their DPS rotation instead of being stuck in LB animation. (Can someone please verify this info for me? I don't have an info source on this, and the last time I told it to someone they just laughed at me like I was wrong)


Follow-up question I've been wondering for some time now!

Which LB is stronger (or are they the same damage), Caster or Ranged? Also, if you know the answer to this, where are you getting your info from? I've looked for this answer a couple times and never successfully found it.
