How Often Do You Use Tank Limit Break?

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

This is a small poll of sorts. How many of you get a chance to use the Tank limit break in a party setting?

Has your party generally agreed with the decision? If they do not agree, have you been able to convince them? Has there been any content where you've preferred Level 1 vs. Level 2 vs. Level 3 over another role using the Limit Break?

What adjustments (if any) would you like to see happen to the tank limit break?

The only time you can justify using it is before pulling a boss when you have a full bar and the bar gets emptied when you pull.

Other than that, it is never worth using.

Honestly it should be worth using more. Something like:

Rank 1: Tank receives no damage from the next attack.
Rank 2: Tank receives no damage from the next 5 attacks and each party member receives no damage from the next attack against them.
Rank 3: Party is immune to all damage for 10 seconds.

I almost suggested something to do with agro, but honestly I dont tihnk I want the ability to grab agro on all targets engaged or something like that. You don't always want to be tanking everything.

This. Sir can i give you a cookie. How about a model of your choosing? xD

Or at least something along the lines of:
Rank 1: greatly increases Phys/Mag Defense. Something like 20 - 30% for 10 seconds
Rank 2: greatly increases Phys/Mag Defense. Something like 30 - 45% for 10 seconds (Or maybe even something like Scholar's AOE defense thingie)
Rank 3: Party-wide Hallowed Grounds

Especially since the current LB's for tanks is just like casting a party wide Rampart... before the Trait buff -_-

I hit it when I'm trolling my friends. Does it have any other use?

Garuda Normal mode is was useful if you had a less than stellar group, it prevented a wipe as you moved into P2.

If your group has a crappy ilevel of weapons (what the damage on SMN/BLM/DRG/MNK is based on), then its usable in Titan/Ifrit/Garuda if you are low on gear but high on skill, as it is a % damage reduction. Meaning, if you don't anticipate dying due to the boss being alive for too long, you can use the tank limit break to not wipe on a jump or hellfire or whatever garuda does. However, if you are geared, the melee limit break is almost always more useful.

Its probably under used due to over-valuation of the melee DPS limit break, but its still pretty worthless.

Yep, this is the the 1 time I ever used PLD limit break. Normal Garuda to protect the group during the transition. Besides that one time I've never touched it since.

pitifully

Tank LB not really useful, I never use it on any fight except for show off or trolling

They should extend duration of LB 3 from 10 to 20

Use it when LB bar is about to empty anyway. Use it if you mess up the stones at story mode Garuda. That's about it.

Only way I can think to improve that situation is to make more situations in future content like that normal mode Garuda. We have DPS tests, tank/healing tests, creature control tests (like turn4) ... why not a test of the entire group's defense?

We use it if we have it before a pull...sadly it is pretty useless lol
