Why do DPS not use Limit Break anymore?

Because MAH PARSE!

Honestly, as a relatively new dps, I'm afraid that I'll take it from someone else. Doesn't help when people in chat say to LB, but don't say who should. Even just saying what job should would help.

Many people don't know how often the LB gauge fills up during a dungeon. If fills up randomly, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and in one boss Alexander it fills up 3 gauges in 4 monsters.

So in the end people are afraid using a resource that would be needed at the last moment.

As a DPS, I do hold back LBing the second the 3rd bars fill if I know the group I'm with is pure CRAP. I'd rather let a healer LB and clear than try to push dps and lose cause players suck.

There are several reasons.

• Holding it the Caster/Ranage to use on large pull
• Content is new and people want to save it for Healer LB3
• People have... concerns with the party and want Healer LB3
• The melee DPS don't want to lose uptime for their parse

I spend a lot of time on healers or Bard so I'm used to only pressing it in an emergency, or being of lower priority than other dps to use it.
On the rare occasions I'm on the right dps to use it (or we're all ranged physical dps) I just forget.

To add, sometimes people simply forget. I usually play BRD or AST, one where the LB3 is rarely used because lul physical ranged LB (unless I hijack it in 24-mans) and one where the LB3 is basically an “oh sh*t” button. So sometimes if I’m on a job I don’t play often, I simply forget LB3 is even a thing.

If nothing else I'll go for the big flashy finish! Style over substance any day of the week!

[Hycinthus]

Honestly for new players, they will not know. It's not part of any tutorial anywhere and no one is telling them how and where to find it or how to slot it. That was me also when I was new.

You forgot "Healer mains who only use it for moments when things go to hell or tank mains who use it...When the Devs say they need to?"
