Why do you save your LB?

[Sunarie]

For certain fights our FC usually saves LB for later..the reason is in case stuff hits the fan and we end up needing the healer 3rd rank one, cause you aren't likely to get back up to a 3rd full bar. We have recovered from an icky Titan run (all dead save for one healer, a tank, a bard, and a black mage post heart phase) with a bard using the healer limit break to get everyone up. Granted the bard also got landslide off... but a sacrificial bard isn't so bad.

Usually stuff doesn't hit the fan and it's just using the limit break later, but it's nice to have the huge rez option in case it's needed.

Everyone loves melees to LB the boss. Unless we're talking about something like the mistral shriek in garuda story mode ( the one after the vortex comes and pillars are knocked ) and it is expected that a tank LB could be needed, I think melee should just go for it. Parties that need support LBs are usually not going to make it....

It actually depends on the fight. Garuda EX we actually use the caster aoe one when some of the adds are up and on the MT (usually Supra-whatever and Garuda herself). If it's a single boss fight, no adds, we'll usually use melee. I agree with the person quoted though, as stated above. DPS LB is secondary to a healer one if crap hits the fan. Tank I pretty much never get to use.
