Why do you save your LB?

[kukurumei]

Suppose you are in Titan HM Phase 5 as a DRG. You have 3 members dead like you said, and you decide to hold off on the LB3. Realistically speaking, what are the odds that a healer will be able to ress all 3 dead members (who may have even been landslided). Are you going to hold off on a Limit Break that just got to Level 3 somehow hoping that healers will be able to resurrect people?

If you have 3 dead members in Titan, your LB will do so little damage, you might as well not use it and eat a landslide/weight out of carelessness.

Attack LB is the combine raw stats of all members of the PT. with 3 dps dead, you LB is basically crappier then regular skills.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the LB based on the ilv of the weapons of everyone in the group? I thought I seen a post on Reddit about a group that tested the LB with full gear on, and then naked with only weapons, and with low level weapons. It has been awhile but I'm pretty sure LB really doesn't change if someone is dead does it?

I dont .... Why?
<<< Bard main ... usually a healer there with me anyway which is probably more effective from them, so my LB is useless. Other than that I pressed it once on a lowbie PUG but I dont think it worked right...

almost every fight has an optimal LB time unless you're overgeared for it, and very few of them is melee DPS LB whenever bar is up (Turn 2 is the only one i can think of like that).

I've actually found few fights have an optimal LB time (since dungeons are most of this games content)

Coil is the only dungeon where most groups don't go in overgeared. i haven't done a dungeon besides Coil or CT in a month so idk how that is most of this game's content.

Using LB as soon as it's available is valid if you are absolutely certain your party will not mess up anywhere afterwards. There are times (albeit rare) where a tank or healer LB3 can recover the fight. For fights that have phases, you may want to LB to skip whichever phase is likely to give the most trouble.

There is no such thing is always LB when available or always LB as a finisher. It's situational and will sometimes differ from fight to fight and from party to party.

I think people likes to use LB at the end of the battles just because it is when It's starting to get difficult... When the bosses reach a certain HP they start changing phases, dealing more damage and such things, in the latest phase it begins to become too much dangerous to keep it like that, so.... It is better to finish it fast with a LB...

While, initiating a fight, there's rarely a problem with holding the battle like that... Let's say, normally it's easier to reduce one boss's VIT bar to half, than from half to zero...Yes, maybe the same vit, But it's not the same try to reduce, for example, the first 30k HP of 60k HP than the latest 30k HP....

That's why most people use LB at the end of the battles, because at start has no much use at all, only accelerates the boss's fury.

(Of course, I'm a noob, and I'm just giving my opinion of what I have seen until now.. MAYBE in end-game there are bosses that are harder at the start of the battle instead of the end... Even if that would make no much sense for a MMORPG.)

When has your LB 3 finished charging up before the last phase (excluding Ifrit Nail Phase)?
