    I am a little curious about how they're going to balance the different limit breaks; mostly whether or not the speed at which gauge charges is going to vary between classes based on how effective their LB is.

    BLM's charges very quickly but I couldn't tell what it was doing other then building stacks of a buff and allowing for instant casts are long as said buff persisted.

    Hard to know for sure. For the most part, the LBs we saw were either:
    Hard, one-shotting, nuke like SAM, RPR, NIN maybe, and DRG maybe.
    AoE with CC and damage like WHM, RDM, and DNC?
    AoE with debuffs like DRK and PLD.
    BLM had 6 free stacks of Flare and Freeze that are AoE that also applied the Fire and Ice debuffs that can be detonated by the large flashy BLM circle that appear to put a burn DoT for fire stacks and maybe Freeze CC for detonated Ice stacks.

    Perhaps BLM can charge faster because it's not as immediate and impact compared to the others. That's also assuming LB charge rates are different per job like Ultimate's in Overwatch, and aren't flat across the board.
