Why do people save LB till the end of the fight?

[Hyperia]

I have often found that anything less than a LB3 is a waste of DPS as many jobs, if properly played, do better DPS than a LB2.

The limit break system needs to be overhauled to make it more useful.

Yeah... no

Ranged/Magical LB1 is 1650 pot
Ranged/Magical LB2 is 3600 pot
* and this is on every single enemy (no reduction based on # of mobs like with many of their AoE skills)

Melee LB1 is 2400 pot
Melee LB2 is 5250 pot
* of note here, grab your favorite melee job and combine the total potency from your entire opener, and then compare it the LB2 number here.

How exactly are you going to make it more useful when so many players are already ignoring these potencies?

Your potencies are outdated/ incorrect: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...m_source=share

There are some situations were you could do more by not LBing such as when youre in your burst phase

I mean yeah but a dps opener makes more sense at 5% than an attack that takes 50 years to actually do the damage.
