[Proposal] Personal Limit Breaks

[therpgfanatic]

People will never let this go will they? We're not very far into the game yet for people to be saying that non damage limits get the short end of the stick. Lets not forget the simple fact that Damage limits have almost zero strategic process. Just point and click. Tank limit is a strategic use limit, and there are fights where you should use it. Healer limit isn't something you should just use because it's there. It's something that is to be used when in dire need.

I'm pretty positive they aren't going to be adding any new content for levels 1-50, since it is, you know, a linear story line.

Besides, it doesn't matter how long the game has been out. What matters is how the game plays right now.

You don't balance a game for how it might hypothetically be in the future. You balance for it for how it currently plays for the paying customers.

I support this in theory.

I'm not sure I agree with all the specifics of what's been proposed, but I certainly think making the limit break system an individual resource would be better than what we have now. And definitely in favor of limit-break-summons.

Awesome, nicely explained, approved...

I can't say any other thing about this idea aside that I like it, because there's no much to say, wonderful...

Hope Square Enix takes serious this and we will soon have personal limit breaks, or can use it despite our class, more variety, customization... It would be great, seriously. More ideas like this are welcome!

Interesting concept and could be easily implemented and tuned.


P.S. Give bard a DPS Limit break. :P

I'm not one for looking at ff11 with rose-colored glasses but I MISS our two hours. I miss seeing monks hundred fisting the kraken nm on the ferry. I miss casting benediction on the party and then seeing the paladin popping invincible. Rangers with their eagle-eyed shot, black mages rocking with manafont, redmages with their macros flying because they just used their swiftcast two hour. I even look on fondly at the more useless two hours. Like Mighty Whiffs for warriors, Soul voice for Bards, the exploding Ninjas...

I really miss the Dragoon's Spirit Surge. It was very under appreciated but amazing win used right.

The limit break/two hour system is unique. No other mmo does this and I think every job/class deserves to see theirs but instead we only see two kind. Most tanks/healers have only seen theirs on the SE promotional videos and that just feels wrong to me.

I think they would have to reduce the limit break system down to 5 min per limit break lvl considering there is a 5min interval between bosses.

Seems legit. I'm all for it. Wonderful idea Mr. OP
I actually think it would be ideal to have a group limit break and solo limit breaks

[NeoAmon]

So long the group LB stays the same unaffected, I think OP idea is good but need more to it.

[Vinta]

I would actually like the ability to use a limit break when soloing. Something weaker than even a level 1 limit break, though.

Well, having some really cool ability you use once in a blue moon would be cool, too. But doesn't really fit in with the game balance. I remember EQ having abilities like that.
